User-friendly backup has simplified file access and boosted customer satisfaction

I use Acronis Cyber Infrastructure primarily to save our M365 resources. The implementation was simple, and the licensing fees were not too high. This allowed us to sell it to our customers with a little profit for us The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."

"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."

"The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a user-friendly manner."

"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."

"The reporting and auditing features of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure are the most effective for data protection; it has a single console management system, and all products are integrated into one console, which makes it very efficient."

"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."

"In our implementations, HDS Storage Virtualization has helped in migrating data with the least amount of downtime, compared to other storage technologies."

"The replication technology can move data faster than EMC MirrorView and requires less bandwidth. The Storage Virtualization technology is the most mature in the market, outside of IBM’s Storwize (which has a lot of compatibility issues, and EMC’s very expensive VPLEX solution); and it works."

"This solution allowed us to move from using standalone systems to having all our data center management in one place."

Cons

"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."

"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."

"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."

"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."

"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."

"An update to its technology would be good. The G Series has been around for more than five years and HDS seriously needs to ramp up, since the competition has better performance at a lower cost with better features and functionalities. For example, it needs redirect on write Snapshot, preconfigured storage tiering with better IOPS, built-in deduplication technology on hybrid disk, etc."

"HDS reaches a ceiling depending on model. The G200 cannot transition to G400, the G400 can transition to G600 but cannot transition to G800, which is the top-end model."

"An area for improvement would be technical support. In the next release, I would like to see more features added to make this a more complete solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side and the subscription is renewed every year."

"We pay monthly for the use of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. There are additional features that we use that have an extra fee."
