"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
"The most important part is that you actually know you have a backup of the whole virtual server."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"We would always support better pricing."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"The pricing could be better."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."

Veeam is a good easy to use backup solution. But it has some limitations when you have an HCI Infrastructure like Nutanix.
Veeam BEM though can manage the jobs in Nutanix but if I need to fetch any reports for compliance requirements, it's not available. BEM will provide reports only if you are using VMWARE or HyperV. hence we are moving towards Rubrik.
First off Azure is not a backup strategy or solution, its an S3 repository. Acronis, Veeam, Rubrik, Cohesity are Enterprise Backup Solutions/EBS that can facilitate an S3 (Cloud-out). Read the Gartner Report on EBS publisehd last Nov 2019 for better insight. - Best, Aaron
I have used Acronis and Veeam and choosing between the two depends on result you expect to get from the Backup Solution. I will advise you try the trial version of both and decide which gives you better result.
That all comes down what exactly you are looking to backup. Virtual, physical, cloud. Nevertheless if you are looking for a simple, reliable, scalable, and flexible solution which has a portable license model that fits all go with Veeam
There is no “proper” answer to your question.
First, before the tool, define your goal as:
- how many systems?
- how many virtual vs physical?
- sizing (even roughly)
- is there some DBs or specific app?
Then time will come to choose the correct tool.
Veeam is a leader. Acronis is a niche player. Veeam is integrated with most storage systems on the market. Functionality - I'd recommend Veeam.
Hi Mark, hope you are well and keeping safe. Would this be for an on-prem, off-prem or hybrid solution you are looking for? For the record, Azure is a Cloud based solution and other vendors like Arcserve, Acronis, Veeam etc...have an on-prem/hybrid solution offerings. Happy to discuss
