We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good.""Since the last version, everything has been improved.""Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc.""It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately.""​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​""In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that.""The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use.""The solution is stable and reliable."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.""I like the incremental backups and their failover.""It is scalable.""Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option.""The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution.""The user interface is good.""The technical support is good."

Cons
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment.""When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration.""It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system.""The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement.""If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good.""When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking.""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 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."

"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible.""There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.""The integration needs improvement.""It could use deduplication features.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
