Have achieved seamless data recovery and find disaster recovery immensely reliable
I trust Acronis Disaster Recovery because I have used it in many critical cases, such as managing an email server with inboxes for 5,000 users along with system data, and it successfully restored everything. Data authenticity is very important for all users and administrators, and the blockchain-based data integrity verification feature in Acronis Disaster Recovery provides great benefit. I recommend using Acronis Disaster Recovery. Once users have the software, they should schedule backups and save their data in a safe place within Acronis because it is trustworthy and reliable for data backup at any time. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Acronis Disaster Recovery a 10.

Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options
The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's real-time replication is fast and enhances data security."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"The solution can be improved by including a load balancer."
"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"Using the backup as an image helps our organization to have a clean machine in disaster recovery."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is worth the investment because it saves data and allows backup at any time, which is particularly valuable considering the current threats from viruses, trojans, and crypto-attacks."
"Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup."
"The most valuable feature is the hot restore capability."
"Since we started to resell QoreStor, we have been using it internally; it's better than other backup solutions we have used or evaluated."
"This software solution can be installed on many different types of hardware, which makes it very flexible. We can run it on virtual machines or virtual servers, providing convenience for solutions of varying sizes, from small to large."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."
"Overall, it simplifies the management of backup and gives me a more secure feeling that my data is going to be available if I need to retrieve it."
"The extreme compression of data is a big thing for us. We were looking for an online backup solution, and QoreStor is very good in terms of data compression. It helps us minimize the required storage in the Blob Storage environment."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"Data deduplication and replication would be the top two features. The encryption and cloud tiering are also attractive for the future."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
 

Cons

"The tool is a little bit expensive."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"Acronis needs to implement some kind of Real Time Backup or continuous backup feature."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"Apart from the cost, which is one aspect, there is no improvement I can think of at the moment for Acronis Disaster Recovery. The only area for improvement is the price."
"The cost is acceptable."
"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."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
"The management interface is in need of improvement. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the web management tools appears clunky, and not super intuitive."
"The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor."
"The importance of support is significant to me. I was working for a service provider, and all of our customers had a Quest or warning. Sometimes the support really underperforms."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"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 product has an affordable price."
"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 solution’s pricing is average."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
