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

"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick."
"It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"All are valuable and reliable with Acronis Backup 11.7.50220."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
"The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
 

Cons

"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"It does not do what it says on the tin at all."
"Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive."
"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."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops."
"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"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."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"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."
