Effective data recovery with strong backup features
I am not using the blockchain-based data integrity verification feature. We have not implemented proactive ransomware protection and anti-malware features, so they have not been helpful to my customers. For shared drives, when configuring SharePoint services for backup, licensing becomes difficult to understand, so that would be a point of interest for improvement. The licensing features should be improved. The licensing for SharePoint should be more visible for SharePoint services backup to make it more feasible and understandable. In terms of management, group management is not available for bulk activities, which I have previously given feedback on in a training session conducted by Acronis. If you want to do any recovery for bulk users, the option for bulk activities is not available in Acronis currently. Bulk activity should be available. 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.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support
MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."
"DR and failover are good features of the tool."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"This is a good product and I feel confident recommending it to any of my customers."
"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"Technical support is very good."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."
"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."
 

Cons

"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"The cost is acceptable."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"The interface could use some updating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has an affordable price."
"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."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
