We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good.""Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup.""The solution can be improved by including a load balancer.""The backup and recovery options work flawlessly.""The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery.""Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools.""Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability.""The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."

"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems.""Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs.""The solution does a good job with VM backups.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines.""Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that.""It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable.""I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good.""The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."

Cons
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information.""The product should improve compute points.""The documentation can be improved, this would have helped.""In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support.""They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations.""I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities.""The cost is acceptable.""Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"Device backup could be improved.""Some of the best practice documentation could be improved.""I have issues with the licensing.""Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth.""A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore.""We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team.""They need a better solution for backend storage.""Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
