Featured Reviews

Mohamed Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries
The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. 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. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.

Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

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 fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
More Acronis Cyber Protect pros
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"You can back up the whole image."
 

Cons

"The cost of Acronis Cyber Protect is good, but as a general judgment here in Egypt, the economic situation is not good. If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
More Acronis Cyber Protect cons
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
More Veritas System Recovery cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
