Have improved recovery preparedness and see potential growth with better technical support
Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent. This reduces the workload on endpoints during backups and other cybersecurity operations. Backup is crucial as it allows data recovery. Email security helps protect against malicious emails. The failover process is preconfigured, offering a simplistic switch over for servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools."
"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
 

Cons

"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."
"The cost is acceptable."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"The product should improve compute points."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"We need the server configuration capacity to be enlarged with the solution's help, as it does not currently include capabilities for storage expansion during recovery."
"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"The pricing could be better."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
