We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface.""One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration.""This is a full software so deployment time is very quick.""The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us.""Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface.""The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly.""It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."

Cons
"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.""The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures.""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.""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 better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10.""The support and documentation must be improved.""For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain.""Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

  • "It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
  • "When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
  • "​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
  • "Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
