Rishan Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful multi-tenancy model, reliable, and simple setup
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery. In a future release, there needs to be analytics when there is an existing dashboard, this should be a requirement.
Serdar De - PeerSpot reviewer
Initial setup has been straightforward and it has reasonable pricing
We are new to this, so we are still learning about the valuable features The solution is okay overall. It could be easier to learn. We haven't had any issues. They could have more AI functionality in the future.  I have been using the solution for six months. I have not encountered any problems…
