Pros
"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools.""The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities.""The solution can be improved by including a load balancer.""One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good.""Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy.""Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability.""The backup and recovery options work flawlessly.""Our customers use Acronis Disaster Recovery for data backup."

"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine.""The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""The standard backup and restore feature is most used.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys.""The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too.""I would recommend it if there is a general case."

Cons
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities.""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.""The product should improve compute points.""The documentation can be improved, this would have helped.""In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support.""They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations.""Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"Licensing can be quite difficult.""The product is not user-friendly.""The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS.""StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast.""The initial setup was complex.""Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive.""The support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
