Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to clone backups."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The licensing model is very good."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"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."
"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."
"The speed could be better."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing is good."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
