Stability Issues

Acronis Cyber Protect is generally stable, with minor setup challenges and occasional performance issues during large backups.
Sentiment score
8.4
<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery is stable with high uptime, fast support, minimal maintenance, and improved cloud usability.</p>
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect needs UI improvements, better support, enhanced backups, compatibility, and cloud integration to address user concerns.
Users seek improvements in Infrascale's bandwidth options, Linux support, SSD use, pricing, data diversity, security, and multi-cloud integration.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers reasonable pricing and good value, though complex pricing may challenge evaluators, especially for smaller environments.
Infrascale Backup offers competitive, flexible pricing ideal for small enterprises, though it requires negotiation and setup costs.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect provides comprehensive backup, security features, and management tools, ensuring data protection across multiple platforms for businesses.
Infrascale provides simple, rapid VM boot-up and robust backup, recovery, and protection for servers with a user-friendly interface.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.

Featured Reviews

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.
Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
