i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space.

The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature.

The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware.

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.

The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup.

I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface.

If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive...

I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte.

They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases.

At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved.

If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful.

The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.

In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule.

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.
