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.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"We have never had a backup fail because of the software."
"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"As far as I'm concerned, it's rock solid and I'm very pleased with it and I will continue to sell it and support it."
"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."
"Massive peace of mind and the certain knowledge that we can recover from any disaster goes way beyond the cost of the product."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
"The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering."
"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"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.​"
"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"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."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
