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.

Archives the backup of emails and has excellent support

I think we can leverage more on backing up or collecting some data for all of the features that Office 365 gives us. Currently, they are doing the backup of Teams. They could also add the backup for the planner. For the Barracuda Backup system, they could at least have a chance to provide the backup for laptops and computers to the cloud. I would like to see a way to increase space. That is one of two questions that we get from customers, "And what happened if I need to increase space?" I would rate Barracuda Backup at a nine on a scale of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Centralized management is valuable to us."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."

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

"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 administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."

"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."

"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."

"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

Cons

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"We would always support better pricing."

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"The reporting can be improved."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"The price is reasonable."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"They're on par with their competitors."

"Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get."

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
