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.

Scalability is my sore spot. With the way they use nodes and count nodes, it’s very easy to blow well past your license amount. I have, for example, a 150 node license, of which I am monitoring 337 nodes. However, only 150 are actually monitored, so I have to do a lot to try to find the right applications to monitor. Since the next level for licensing is 500/700 or something like that, I simply haven’t been able to afford the bump up. I simply need a much higher license level than I have. However, the cost is too much and they lack the flexibility in allowing you a smaller step up. It goes from, say 150 nodes to 500. There is no 250 or 300, for example. Would I find applications to monitor, with the selection from Windows, Linux, SQL, IIS, Active Director, and Exchange? You bet. For now, however, I have to be patient until I can justify the cost of the upgrade.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."

"The performance has been fine so far."

"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use."

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

Cons

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"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."

"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."

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

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

"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."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The solution could always be more easily scalable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

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

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

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

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
