"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The ability to clone backups."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"It requires much more automation features."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
