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.

The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago

BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."

"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools."

"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."

"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."

"Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup."

"DR and failover are good features of the tool."

"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery pros

"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."

"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."

"It makes it possible for us to back up our Unix machines without installing a host, client, or any client software. It gives us some peace of mind in regards to those servers getting backed up."

"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."

"The most useful feature is that you can back up the virtual machines in different ways. You can back up from a vhost, and you can also back up from a Windows server. It doesn't matter what type of infrastructure or hypervisor is there. It's very flexible, which is its most useful feature for us."

"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."

"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."

"Vembu provides us with a way to instantly recover data. It offers instant data recovery through a local backup server deployed at the customer's site. We can quickly recover data either by copying it back to the main server or if the backup server is powerful enough, we can also directly start a virtual machine from the backup."

Cons

"Technical support from Acronis requires some improvisation; we do not get on-time support, and we face issues connecting with the account manager, which needs to be improved."

"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."

"The product should improve compute points."

"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."

"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."

"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."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery cons

"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."

"The reports are at a basic level and there is room for improvement there. It only has historical reports and VM backup job-level reports."

"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."

"There are some limitation in Vembu that can be improved. When you take the backup from any server, the full incremental backup is limited. For example, if you run a weekly full backup and monthly backup, they cannot be run at the same time. I should not have to create a new job, but in this scenario, I am creating two jobs. The limitation is created because if I select monthly backup, then I cannot select weekly backup."

"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."

"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."

"The interface could be better because I have to fumble around to find things. I can't just sit down at the terminal and know exactly what to do. It could be just me, but I have used a number of different backup products, and I found them simpler. However, its features are very good, so I don't mind sacrificing a bit of extra time to do what I need."

"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has an affordable price."

"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 tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"The license is per unit and is expensive."

"The pricing of Vembu could be better. They have a good product, and I know good products cost money, but they need to find a balance."

"It's just the license per host with one CPU, but if I did choose offsite cloud replication, they do charge for the data. They charge per gigabyte, or something like that. They have plans."

"The best thing about the product is the license management. It is a true managed service provider solution. It has a good price. The licensing is quite flexible, which is one of the most important things for us."

"The return of investment was very fast, within half a year."

"Vembu is too expensive because they don't really have small-business pricing. This is a matter of personal opinion. They're going to tell you that they have competitive pricing because there are more expensive solutions in the marketplace, but there are better solutions in the marketplace that are more expensive. Their product is a better fit for small businesses, but they don't price it that way."

"I think it is a good value for the price."

"The product's pricing is a good value. Vembu is cost-effective versus using VMware Essentials. Regarding licensing, make sure you find the right workstation or server that you're going to install it on, and know the number of sockets it has, since the price depends on that."
