Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use.""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.""Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution.""The solution is stable and reliable.""The ability to clone backups.""​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​""Universal Restore is valuable to us.""This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration.""When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one.""It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes.""I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports.""It's not easy to scale it.""The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof.""Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately.""It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."

Cons
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker.""The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration.""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.""On the cloud side, security could always be better.""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.""Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all.""There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data.""Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution.""The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive.""Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing.""The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release.""I would like to see more storage options for the free version.""No appliance update notifications.""In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
  • "Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
  • "I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
  • "It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
  • "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 like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
  • "Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
  • More Acronis Cyber Protect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."
