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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."

"The pricing is fine."

"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."

"The ability to clone backups."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."

"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."

"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."

"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."

"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."

"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."

"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."

"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."

Cons

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

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

"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."

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

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."

"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."

"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."

"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."

"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."

"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."

"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."

"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

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

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."

"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."

"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."

"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."

"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."

"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."

"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
