"The product's deployment process was straightforward.""I would recommend it if there is a general case.""One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature.""The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too.""The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."

Cons
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information.""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 cost is acceptable.""The documentation can be improved, this would have helped.""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."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those.""The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear.""Backups are very slow and time consuming.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again.""We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release.""Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive.""The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
