More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call.""I would like to see more security features.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
