Offers good DR and failover features
My company's customers mostly use the solution for backup purposes, specifically as a cloud backup. I think it is also used as a cloud DR. The government mostly uses the tool, and then we do have some customers in the private sector The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of DR because we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup."
"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."
"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"The backup features are valuable."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
 

Cons

"The cost is acceptable."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"The product should improve compute points."
"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"They could include better automation features for migrating VMs without further configuration for the product."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"The tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."
"The product has an affordable price."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
