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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."

"The ability to clone backups."

"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."

"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

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

"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."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

Cons

"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."

"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."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"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."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"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 are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

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

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
