Cons

"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."

"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."

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

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

"We would always support better pricing."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"No technical support and minimal documentation."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The solution should enhance its user interface and make it more flexible."

"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."

"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."

"PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems."

"The interface is too complex."

"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."

"The tool's scalability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries."
