Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"Solution provides good security."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"Technical support is good."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
