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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"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."
"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 would always support better pricing."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"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."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
