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.

Owner at Vtek Systems

The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent

I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."

"The solution can be improved by including a load balancer."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."

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

"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery pros

"The overall ease of use and ease of management of the solution using the Infrascale dashboard is excellent. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 because the dashboard is very simple to use. For someone with a technical background, it's a wonderful piece of software to be using in a cloud environment. But if you're not technical, then it might be a problem. It could be confusing for non-technical people. If you don't know what you're doing, you could kind of screw it up. Any human with two brain cells can do it. It's like anything else. So, once you train a human, they're good. Anybody can do it. Anybody with a competent brain can use it and go with a little bit of technical skill. It might be confusing in the beginning, but once you're trained up and you've used it a little bit, like anything else in your life, it'll be easy. They'll come as normal."

"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."

"The interface of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is very easy to use, and there are no problems. It's set it and forget it. You can make adjustments very easily as well."

"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."

"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."

"Its Critical Server Insurance feature for protecting physical and virtual servers, including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V is mandatory for me and it makes me happy. If I had a backup solution that didn't do that, it would not be a backup solution and would not be any good."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."

"The cost is acceptable."

"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery cons

"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away. Once I figured it out I just changed my favorites on my desktop to go to the client-side."

"The only point of improvement I can think of for Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is that the restore process could sometimes be easier to do and faster. A file-only restore or directory-only restore can sometimes take quite some time; however, a server restore goes fast."

"The pricing model that they recently changed to is a little bit complicated, and the biggest area for improvement is a better way of figuring out how to price it."

"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."

"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."

"When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups."

"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."

"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product has an affordable price."

"This pricing is quite reasonable."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"The solution’s pricing is average."

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."

"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."

"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
