Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

A backup solution with better reporting and easy configuration
We were looking to replace our backup software and started doing a POC. During the POC, we realized the benefits of Clumio, especially given our small team. We always look for solutions that are easily manageable and not cumbersome. Clumio offers an easy interface, is simple to set up, and is easy to maintain. It provides a way to get daily reports directly from the software. Clumio has a straightforward setup; it involves deploying an OVF agent and connecting it to the cloud. Once connected, it begins backing up to the cloud. You can easily go to the cloud console and specify which servers need backups, and it starts the process. Different policies can be defined and assigned to servers, making the process much easier. Clumio also sends daily report emails, so every morning, we receive a report detailing what was successfully backed up and what failed. Their support is also good. If a backup fails twice, they proactively open a ticket and contact to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The licensing model is very good."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
 

Cons

"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
