Stuart Grigor - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Boomchi Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to setup, good support, has good indexing and file-level restore features
The primary use case of this solution is for backing up EC2 instances and RDS instances The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions. Also, the ability to integrate it with the information management studio, and the backups for RDS…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"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."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"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."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
