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."

"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."

"It is a very stable solution."

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

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

"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"You can back up the whole image."

"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."

"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 installation was straightforward."

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

"It has a user-friendly interface."

Cons

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

"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."

"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."

"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."

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

"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."

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

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

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

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

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"It needs an easier interface."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"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 pricing could be cheaper."

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

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"The price is reasonable."

"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."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

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

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."
