Featured Reviews

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.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"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."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"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."
"Technical support can be improved."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"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."
"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."
