Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The solution helps to improve business continuity processes. Its automatic failover and failback policies have been wonderful."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can independently run the disaster recovery without disturbing the production instances."
"The most valuable features are the disaster recovery and testing."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"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."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"In my view, if VMware comes up with an appliance-based solution like vCenter Server (which was also Windows-based), it will be much easier for deployment. I"
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"The technical support is not quick enough to respond when a user tries to contact them."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."
"You need a lot of knowledge to work with the interface because it is not really easy to use, and it would be great if the dashboard were simplified."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."
