Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Acronis Backup is easy to use.""Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance.""This is a full software so deployment time is very quick.""The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware.""In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that.""I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive.""The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support.""In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."

"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."

Cons
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.""The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format.""The reporting can be improved.""The pricing could be improved.""We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself.""We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly.""It does not delete locked files.""The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
