Cons
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information.""In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support.""The product should improve compute points.""They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations.""I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities.""The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment.""The cost is acceptable.""The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release.""The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear.""Licensing can be quite difficult.""The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved.""The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly.""The initial setup was complex."
