Acronis Cyber Cloud for Enterprise (discontinued) vs. Panzura CloudFS

Acronis Cyber Cloud is well suited in any environment where backup is needed. Whether it is backing up a single workstation, 10 servers, or replicating a Virtual machine to another Virtual Host.

Panzura works well for companies that have a high amount of data with cross site collaboration being done. The caching ensures you don't need huge investments of storage at each site and the cloud storage ensures high availability over what can be done locally. Also helps eliminate duplicate data across sites and/or small variations in the same data.

• Image backup.
• File folder backup.
• Virtual machine replication.
• Workstation backup.
• Server backup.

Incentivized

• Real time file locking
• Backup and recovery
• Easy access to all your files

• We would like to see a Virtual Machine test option to test the ability to boot your backups as seen in some competing backup softwares.

• I would like to see more connectors. Tie in to traditional block storage or NAS. Additional cloud connectors to products like Hitachi Content Platform.
• I would like to see a collaborative product created between Panzura and Riverbed. I envision an almost perfect small footprint ROBO solution where Riverbed provides the compute+WAN optimization and Panzura provides the storage/risiliancy components. Combine the boxes into a single 4U solution and you have a near perfect product for remote offices.

Support has been helpful when we have had to reach out. We have not had to contact support that much so I do not have much feedback on them. I met the support team at the Cyber Summit and they are all very nice, smart individuals.

Hands down support is the best part of Panzura. Their techs are always helpful, always knowledgeable, and consistently solve complex problems quickly. You can definitely tell they hire their support folks from the top tier of other companies and they go above and beyond what I have come to expect in terms of support compared to other companies.

Acronis is by far much easier to configure and gain access to cloud resources. Acronis is cloud only whereas Veeam requires an on prem server. We tested both and have found that we were unable to accomplish our goals utilizing Veeam.

There are several other devices but Panzura is best of class.

Incentivized

• Acronis has made our backup process much smoother.
• Less tech time needed to configure backups.
• Less tech time needed to restore backups.

Incentivized

• Exceptional positive impact on availability - as users move so do their files.
• Panzura+DFS allowed for simple chargeback models to be implemented.
