It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.

Having something such as a community for peer-to-peer interaction would be a valuable asset.

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, cloud integration, and secure backups with advanced cybersecurity features.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is praised for its efficient, scalable integration, reducing costs while supporting diverse environments and enhancing usability.
The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.
Mohamed Naeem
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
Mohd Fahim

This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
Ronald Walther Domjan
IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA

The biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.

The encryption feature in Veritas NetBackup Appliance helps protect sensitive information, as there is encryption at rest and encryption in transit from commands sent from server to client.

Featured Reviews

ArunKumar24 - PeerSpot reviewer
ArunKumar24
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.

Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.
