RandeepPawar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jeff Manuszak - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware
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. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. 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. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"DR and failover are good features of the tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"The most valuable feature is the hot restore capability."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"Using the backup as an image helps our organization to have a clean machine in disaster recovery."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
"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."
"Data deduplication and replication would be the top two features. The encryption and cloud tiering are also attractive for the future."
"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."
"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."
 

Cons

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"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."
"The cost is acceptable."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"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 documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
"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."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution’s pricing is average."
"The product has an affordable price."
"The tool's pricing is 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."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
