Have improved recovery preparedness and see potential growth with better technical support
Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent. This reduces the workload on endpoints during backups and other cybersecurity operations. Backup is crucial as it allows data recovery. Email security helps protect against malicious emails. The failover process is preconfigured, offering a simplistic switch over for servers.
Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"The most valuable feature is the hot restore capability."
"Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup."
"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"DR and failover are good features of the tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
 

Cons

"The product should improve compute points."
"There is room for improvement in incorporating intelligence around disaster recovery. For instance, if a server is completely offline and destroyed, the system should offer an intelligent response, providing options to start recovery without requiring manual intervention from engineers."
"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."
"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."
"We need the server configuration capacity to be enlarged with the solution's help, as it does not currently include capabilities for storage expansion during recovery."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"The solution’s pricing is average."
"The product has an affordable price."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
