Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"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."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"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 are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Stability."
