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

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."

"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "

"The licensing model is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

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

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"The installation was straightforward."

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

"You can back up the whole image."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."

"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"On the cloud side, security could always be better."

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"No technical support and minimal documentation."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

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

"The pricing could be cheaper."

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

"It needs an easier interface."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"The price is reasonable."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

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."
