Chairman at ONGC
Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acronis Cyber Protect is a cost-effective product and it is very reliable and useful."
"End user can manage backup and recovery on its own efficiently once a product PC has failed during production."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"It solved our problem with Linux servers by giving us an image based backup system that is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
 

Cons

"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The ability to use computing resources, the storage nose is stuck frequently and we have to reboot it, and I'm told that it needs 128GB memory and SAS disk to keep it stable, all of these elements leave me unsatisfied."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"The solution is affordable."
