Rishan Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful multi-tenancy model, reliable, and simple setup
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery. In a future release, there needs to be analytics when there is an existing dashboard, this should be a requirement.

Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices
The level of tech support depends on who you get. There are some techs that just read the script and ask you if you’ve rebooted, but once you get past that - or if you have a very technical issue - the support is great. They really know the product and get you up and running again ASAP.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a user-friendly manner."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
 

Cons

"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay monthly for the use of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. There are additional features that we use that have an extra fee."
"The pricing is on the high side and the subscription is renewed every year."
"Price is an issue – this is expensive stuff. My advice is to beat up Riverbed as much as possible on price. These things are expensive and there is room for negotiation."
