Likelihood to Recommend Overall we are happy with what Acronis is offering us, both as a use and a Value Add Resellers. The fact that there is one portal to onboard customers and select services is exactly what we were looking for. Now we are working on the Multi Tenant version, so we can also White Label Acronis towards our customerbase. We have not yet found any scenario's where Acronis can not offer any benefits. We do hear that the pricing for the storage is often to high versus competition. This applies to the Acronis data center storage, yet also the structure of Workload/per TB combination towards other Cloud vendors. (mainly the 3 largest Hyper Scalers) Compared to other Cloud storage solutions, these cost should be lower, so it will be easier to explain to customers to come and join Acronis in the cloud, instead of doing local back-ups or use solutions like DropBox, BackBlaze, PureStorage, Wasabo Hot Cloud Storage, Cloudian and more.
Read full review We have a small deployment with a handful of physical hosts and two dozen or so virtual servers. It's been a perfect fit for us to manage all those backups and to restore entire systems from or even pull specific files/folders from a backup as needed if just a few things need changed/rolled back.
Read full review Pros Prevents bad things from getting onto PCs and Macs Offsite and Offline backups make recovery a breeze (and a certainty!) Excellent sales and technical support Innovative company, constantly adding new features and capabilities Read full review File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used Replication is extremely simple to configure and test Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented Read full review Cons We would like a more robust remote control solution with more emphasis on unassisted system control and management When adding client systems, we have to be logged onto the console as the client, it would be nice to able to do that from the reseller account We wish the file sharing solution was less expensive or allowed for local storage and sharing Read full review Support could stand to improve by a bit. The level of support has seemingly lessened over the years I've been using it. It needs to be able to report backup repository statistics better when XFS and ReFS are in use. It could be a little better about cleaning up after itself (old logs, etc.). Read full review Likelihood to Renew I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.
Read full review Usability The Cyber Protect portal is very intuitive and easy to use for anyone with some knowledge of IT systems.
Read full review Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.
Read full review Reliability and Availability The Veeam Backup & Replication solution is up and running every time you need it as it was planned. In more than 3 years that we have been using the product every night, it might have failed or presented an error once or twice, so the availability percentage is almost at 100%.
Read full review Performance Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility
Read full review Support Rating The support team has never asked me to jump through silly hoops or waste time on pointless exercises. They seem to truly have a handle on what may be wrong. In fact, when we were having trouble getting our license renewal setup (because of yet another license migration at Veeam) a support incident got us connected to the right people to get our renewal done in time.
Read full review Implementation Rating (I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).
Read full review Alternatives Considered An organization might choose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud over
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup for several reasons: Comprehensive Protection: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud offers a more comprehensive solution that covers data protection, cybersecurity, and disaster recovery. If an organization requires an all-in-one solution to manage both backup and security, Acronis is a better fit. Diverse IT Environment: If a business operates in a diverse IT environment that includes physical, virtual, and cloud components, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's broad platform support makes it more suitable. Enhanced Cybersecurity: Organizations that prioritize advanced cybersecurity features and AI-driven threat detection capabilities might find Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud a more robust solution in this regard.
Read full review We used
Zerto and CA Arcserve to address these needs without migrating to Veeam Backup & Replication.
Zerto is a very successful instant backup and we are still using it now. It does what Veeam application cannot do in instant replication. CA Arcserve, on the other hand, is clearly lagging behind the Veeam Backup & Replication product and does not meet today's requirements.
Read full review Scalability In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.

Positive, the profits. Read full review Confidence before starting riskier maintenance windows is a large component of what veeam is able to offer for us Some of the segmentation between different backup servers across our data enters causes unnecessary delays or backups that are duplicated unnecessarily Lack of certain storage vendors being natively supported requires hacky workarounds not fit for a production environment Read full review ScreenShots Veeam Data Platform Screenshots
