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.
Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
 

Cons

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a low-cost solution."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
