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.

Cons

"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."
"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."
"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."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"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 price of the solution is inexpensive."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
