Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

We primarily use the solution as a cloud-backed application machine for storage-related tasks. The connection to the cloud is very useful for clients. It offers very good backup capabilities. You can use it on-premises or on the cloud. It hasn't given us any issues so far. It's stable. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."

"The licensing model is very good."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"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."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The solution could improve the stability."

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

"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."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"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."

"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."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
