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.

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

"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 recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"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."
"This is a good product and I feel confident recommending it to any of my customers."
"The most valuable feature is the hot restore capability."
"The tool's real-time replication is fast and enhances data security."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"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."
"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."
"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."
"If storage costs are a problem, whether on-premises or cloud, QoreStor is worth a serious look."
"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."
"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."
 

Cons

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"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 could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing. I worked a lot with Quest engineers, especially in the early days when we were first testing it and trying it out. I actually had some of the developers working with us at one point because they were going through these point releases, and I was having trouble getting it to work in this S3-compatible situation. We got it all working eventually, but setup is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial. After everything is set up and configured, there should be a way to export the configuration. In case something happens to the QoreStor server, and we need to reinstall and configure everything, being able to import the configuration would be helpful. This feature does not currently exist."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"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."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
