We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Quest Rapid Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"It is very easy to use and very easy to manage. The fact that I can easily recover data is valuable. I don't use it much. The only way I have been using it is that sometimes, people ask to recover the data, which is a very easy process. It takes only a few minutes to get in and get the data from the server."
"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"It's not really Quest's fault, but the only issue that I had during the time when I was doing a lot of our restores is whenever the server reboots, it has to bring all of the repositories back in again, which takes around five to six hours to pull eight terabytes back in again."
"I think the self-paced learning and knowledge base can always be improved so that users can self-service without having to contact either a reseller or Quest. I know there are things that I would have been looking for to try and solve. And the only way I could get there was to actually open a ticket rather than go through self-service through the portal."
