Room For Improvement

Acronis Disaster Recovery requires improvement in support, pricing, documentation, integration, security features, and user guidance for better effectiveness.
<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery needs enhanced performance, flexibility, and support while addressing import delays and improving tech support.</p>
They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework.
For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements.
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.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with 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.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Disaster Recovery pricing is valued for enterprise features but is seen as costly, with preference for perpetual licenses.
Infrascale offers a dynamic pricing model based on data volume, with fair licensing but room for improved list prices.
The pricing for Acronis products has increased by 10% to 15% over the past few years, making it challenging for existing customers to accommodate the rising costs annually.
Acronis Disaster Recovery is fairly priced.
The price for Acronis Disaster Recovery is fair from the perspective of features, but for Indian customers and in light of the competition, it would be better if the price were a little lower to pitch services more effectively.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Disaster Recovery provides robust backup, easy scaling, cloud integration, and automation, enhancing efficiency with user-friendly features.
<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery offers user-friendly management, rapid recovery, versatile infrastructure support, and excellent backup speeds with responsive support.</p>
The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup.
For data recovery, when we lose a server, we are able to restore it in place with the click of a button.
Backup is crucial as it allows data recovery.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.

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.
Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
