"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"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 reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"It is very stable."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"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."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"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."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."

I agree with @Syed Abid Hussain.
Arcserve is a true DR / Ransomware enabled solution for all businesses and when compared apples to apples to other solutions, very affordable. It is available in cloud, hybrid cloud and appliance, your choice. Use the cloud solution and keep what you have if you like, or replace it all with ARCSERVE.
Is it good? I think it is underrated personally. Arcserve just received PC Editors choice, which isn't too shabby. I've worked with Arcserve for a while and it is a "SET AND FORGET" solution when configured properly. I also know many who use it who only have issues due to misconfiguring the software. Never place it directly on your domain is a starter suggestion.
Arcserve gives you:
What doesn't Acronis do?
So it truly depends upon what you are really looking for in a solution. I hope this helps.
Acronis is good but with very limited features also expensive.
Arcserve has more features like Integrated DR, ransomware security, malware detection. different backups support, multiple hardware support. Also, pricing is lower than Acronis.
if you need just backup service Acronis is good while Arcserve UDP is a full-fledged complete suite for small, medium & large-scale businesses.
