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.

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
It removes the headache and hassle for users. However, there’s a critical issue, especially with endpoint users: any change made will immediately reflect, and another problem is that the backup only retains data for 30 days.  Some users change files they might not remember or need to revert after a…

Quotes from Members

Pros

"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."

"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The speed could be better."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
