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.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting

I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"The licensing model is very good."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."

"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."

Cons

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"It does not delete locked files."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."

"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."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"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."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"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."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
