Easy to set up with good usability and helpful support

The agent stability needs improvement. We deal with a lot of agents, and the biggest thing is the agent going offline on the portal. That is one of our biggest things. That means we have to go contact the customer and get access. Once we log on, then try and fix something that is broken, for example, if the internet services wouldn't start, we need the agent to be more stable. Right now, the jobs are not starting. You're telling it to start, yet nothing happens. One additional feature that I would love to see inside the cloud is the ability to recover media. We'd like it to be so that you can do the restore from the portal and not through a GUI on a physical machine since a physical machine restore requires you to physically be at the machine to do that store. We basically are an MSP, so if we're on the one side of the country and if a machine breaks on the other side, we need to try and figure out, "Okay, how do we fix that machine?" You can't do it remotely - it's too far. We have to travel 2000 kilometers just to get to the other side to fix that machine. So if there was some sort of remote capability on their boot media, recovery media, that would be absolutely amazing. The reporting could be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."

"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."

"The disaster recovery feature."

"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."

"We find the product to be very scalable."

"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."

"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."

"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."

"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."

"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."

"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."

"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."

"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."

"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."

More Veeam Backup & Replication pros

Cons

"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."

"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."

"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."

"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."

"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."

"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."

"The technical support could be improved. When you create a ticket, the responsiveness you'd expect is lacking."

"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud cons

"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."

"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."

"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."

"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."

"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."

"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."

"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."

"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."

More Veeam Backup & Replication cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The product’s pricing is expensive."

"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."

"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."

"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."

"I would say that the product is fairly priced."

"If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive."

"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."

"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."

"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."

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.”
