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.

A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
 

Cons

"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 a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"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."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"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 pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
