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.

The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago

BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"The setup is very easy."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."

"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."

"The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."

"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."

"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."

"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."

"The smooth implementation is the most valuable aspect of BDRSuite."

"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."

"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

Cons

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."

"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."

"No technical support and minimal documentation."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"It would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed IT service provider, so we're backing up not just our own systems but all our clients'. In that regard, as we grow, we're putting business through Vembu. There is not any specific partner incentive at all. So that would be nice to see."

"There are bugs. For one month, I encountered a big issue where my storage pool could not be identified. My backups were stopped because they were not able to locate the storage pool. So, I removed the settings and started the backups again. The application is not stable. It needs some debugging and testing on the build side of production."

"The deduplication could be better. It doesn't give the level of deduplication that I would get with a product that's stored in a more standard file format. I would prefer to be able to use a non-deduplicated store on a third-party deduplicated medium."

"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."

"They can work on their cloud solution. In these days, the data becomes too much and you have to back up a lot of data to the site. They could offer cheaper storage to their clients with the cloud, making this a single source of truth solution. In our project, we are using two service providers: One who offers our storage and another who offers the software. If they work on their cloud solution and can offer their clients lower prices for this type of storage, this would be a really good improvement."

"We had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."

"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."

"I have had issues where it was working and then it stopped and I had to diagnose what had changed or gone wrong to get it back up."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

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

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The pricing structure is in line with other solutions. However, the option to replicate offsite to a unit at another office or at home is a big cost benefit. Instead of paying monthly for cloud storage, you replicate offsite for free."

"It's very affordable. We are very satisfied with the cost. It's very affordable for us."

"For someone who doesn't want the Application-Aware feature to work, everything else is up to par. The licensing is straightforward. They license it per CPU."

"BDRSuite is competitively priced."

"It's just the license per host with one CPU, but if I did choose offsite cloud replication, they do charge for the data. They charge per gigabyte, or something like that. They have plans."

"The licensing model is quite complicated; it's not simple. An example: If you have a physical server, you have to pay more for that license than you do for a host. It could be running several VMs and that could be a server VM as well. Then, for web station machines, there is no license for those machines and they have no desktop OS - the free version has all this functionality. Their license model needs to be looked at and simplified."

"I prefer the way Vembu is licensed. When you look at Veeam or any other product, they price per node. Vembu is licensed per host. You just buy a host license and it backs up unlimited VMs within that host. The others charge per VM."

"I do remember that the pricing was based on a VMware or Hyper-V license, whereas on our end, it should be regarded as a VM-based license. I don't know why they make a difference at the Vembu level. We are currently on VMware migrating to Hyper-V, and we didn't want to buy licenses for VMware, but still have to buy them for Hyper-V. This the only thing which does not seem fully adequate."
