Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"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."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
