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.

Easy to work and offers features for tape backups, disk backups, and whatever you want

NovaStor NovaBACKUP is still working on new features because they listen to the customers and integrate their needs into new versions. You can see they make progress with each new version. They are much faster than IBM, where you sometimes have to wait years for new features. It is very quick and fast. NovaStor have big competitors like Veeam, which is very fast and aggressive. It's good, but it depends on the price. I think NovaStor might be cheaper. They have a direct connection to their developers and sales teams, which makes getting answers very fast. Veeam has a lot of features, like a special reporting tool. However, I've heard from some customers that Veeam wasn't always the right decision because it couldn't work with their environment. But Veeam has aggressive marketing, which is why they are probably in first place at the moment, besides Commvault. IBM has lost its competitive edge and is trying to catch up, but it might be too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The licensing model is very good."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

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

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"It's the easiest way to configure it."

"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."

Cons

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."

"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..."

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

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

"It does not delete locked files."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The room for improvement lies in the compatibility of NovaBACKUP with older operating systems."

"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

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

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
