We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect, Commvault Cloud, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"This is a very stable product."
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"Storage Snapshot is a good feature and very safe."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"Sometimes the web page doesn't work. I don't know if it's an outage or if there is maintenance going on in the background. From time to time, Commvault will suddenly stop taking backups for some intervals."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"Could be easier to implement."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
