Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"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."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"They have great support."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
