We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"Incorporating non-disruptive testing capability in disaster recovery procedures has significantly benefited the overall recovery testing processes."
"The solution is consistent."
"The thing I like the most about SMR is the reduced cost of management."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the integration part, along with the subsequent hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"I would like to see better integration with other storage solutions. I would hope to see that within the next two or three years."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"The primary site lacks adequate equipment, such as power backup and cooling, which can lead to downtime during issues like power outages or overheating."
"I would like to see this solution be more scalable."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
