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.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups

When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."

"It is a very stable solution."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use."

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

"Centralized management is valuable to us."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"The installation was straightforward."

"You can back up the whole image."

Cons

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."

"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."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."

"We would always support better pricing."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."

"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."

"It needs an easier interface."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
