Vinoth Thangavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective data loss prevention and good for small and medium enterprises
We are almost ready to acquire ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus. We have a lot of tools. We currently use Acronis Cyber Protect and are looking at zero trust file transfer tools. We have hands-on experience with some tools and are continuously upgrading our infrastructure and security tools. We started with Acronis. I think we had McAfee before I joined, and then we switched to Acronis. We are okay with it. Price and features were the main reason you decided to go with Acronis. It is good value for the money.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"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 agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
 

Cons

"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
