Stuart Grigor - PeerSpot reviewer
Good backup solution but challenges with the stability
It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
 

Cons

"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
