Junior Service Desk Operator at a cloud solution provider with 11-50 employees

Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working

StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.

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

"The backup retention was pretty good, and being able to archive users who had been backed up is good functionality because even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."

"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."

"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."

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
