Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From a security standpoint, it provides robust protection to prevent system crashes and data loss."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."

"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
