Stuart Grigor - PeerSpot reviewer
Good backup solution but challenges with the stability
It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.
IM
Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"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 solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
 

Cons

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"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."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
