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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement
While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a good solution for backing up items."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."
"Buy it."
"It provided us with a fast and reliable way to recover a complex operating system, from one server to another so as to increase the business continuity."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"Replication without network changes."
 

Cons

"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Installation could be easier."
"However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level."
"I have had an issue at times with support, because they weren't able to get to me and I've had to call back after an hour or so, but other than that, I can't be more pleased with the product."
"It does not do what it says on the tin at all."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The solution could improve the stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The price is reasonable."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
