Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."

"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
 

Cons

"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"This is an expensive solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced."
"It is good value for money."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
