Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward.""Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution.""The most valuable feature is disaster recovery.""The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally.""The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature.""I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT.""The product offers very easy configuration capabilities.""The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."

Cons
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily.""​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​""It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup.""They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN).""I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups.""I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules.""There is more room for improvement in the training."
