Presales (Enterprise Solutions Architect) at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Jul 13, 2020

Good training and support, and it allows for bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware

They do a lot of maintenance. In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule. Also, it can happen at a time where some critical systems are required to recover. I would like documentation or a video demonstration on how to restore active databases. At this point, it can restore pictures and common files, but we want to be able to support all kinds of customers so backing up and restoring active databases are important.

Works at a mining and metals company with 51-200 employees

Feb 14, 2020

Easy to use with a helpful dashboard, good support, and the deduplication feature saves heavily on storage space

To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time. Make it possible to backup to a NAS, while at the same time or even a different scheduled time, back up to either a different NAS, or a cloud service, or a local drive. Right now you can add multiple backup locations, but you can only have the VM backup to just one of them. I would like to see this change to allow the VM to backup to all the locations either at the same time, or at different times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."

"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."

"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."

"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."

"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."

"This solution is stable."

"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."

"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."

"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."

Cons

"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."

"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"It does not delete locked files."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."

"No technical support and minimal documentation."

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."

"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."

"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."

"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."

"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

"The scalability of the solution is limited."

"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is okay,"

"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."

"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."

"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."

"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."

"There is a free version for two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."

"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."

"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
