"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"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."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
