Acronis Cyber Protect vs. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Entra ID

Acronis cyber protect is well suited for the small to medium businesses, the ability to turn on the end point protection and email security, MDR and RMM is great. It really helps to manage different services from the single console and get a single report instead on logging into different portals

• Image based backups. After the initial backup, the backups happen quite quickly. This allows for multiple backups per day.
• We have different classes of data which requires different retention policies. Acronis makes that easy to manage.
• Restoration can be done directly to hardware or to a VM. This makes it easy to migrate a physical server to a VM.

• Backing up Sharepoint automatically backs up all users with access to Sharepoint even if the user is not needed to be backed up
• Complex licensing structure
• Needing to manually download workloads to move backups
• Dormant users still backed up and incurring charges

We have renewed our subscription over the course of a few years now. We used to use Backup Exec and it was tedious and difficult to obtain our backups when needed. Acronis just fits our environment style and the way we prefer to do business and use our third party software.

The web layout is very easy to understand. There are many points, all easy to understand; there are many settings, clearly described; and each point is accompanied by a description. In addition, the Protect Cloud is clearly distinguished from the management portal, preventing confusion.

I only got one issue resolved for more than 20 cases open. The escalation is ineffective. Most of the time, I have the feeling that I know the solution better than the support technician. Overall, case management is time-consuming, as our resolution rate is really low

I don't have any real key 'insights' per say except that it wasn't difficult at all, and do not be afraid to dabble in its tools and settings. It is quite intuitive with built in common sense. I cannot say enough good things about our companies experience when using this backup software.

Acronis had the best price-to-performance ratio for our environment of a couple of bare metal servers and a vSphere environment of 10 VMs. The web console for Acronis was the most user-friendly and not difficult to set up and understand. Veeam is top in its class, but it was not for me.

I like using Acronis because I do not have to manage a lot of settings or perform a lot of tasks in order to restore a backup. I like what it offers, but I also want to take care of all my customer's needs. Those include archiving emails, web security, and backups all at the same time. We switched away from Acronis because we had other obligations to our clients. We did not switch because Acronis was a bad service to use. We also found them to be a tad bit expensive compared to their competitors.

• Backup is a great protection against ransomware, you can always restore files that has been infected.
• When you want to go back in previous version of files, it can be life saver.
