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.
Isa Safii - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive data protection and reliable backup capabilities enable smooth disaster recovery operations
The features of Quest NetVault Plus that are most valuable include the ability to pick up and restore to tape servers and external hard disks. It allows us to pick up from devices and then restore to the same devices or external server storage. Additionally, the application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.

Pros

"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools."
"The solution can be improved by including a load balancer."
"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The user interface is good."
"Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
 

Cons

"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"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 cost is acceptable."
"The product should improve compute points."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is average."

"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."
"The product has an affordable price."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."
