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.

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Technical support is great."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Technical support can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
