Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details.""The pricing is fine.""​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​""Acronis has a very rich functionality.""The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options.""i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space.""Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products.""I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

Cons
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing.""No technical support and minimal documentation.""Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup.""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.""When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration.""The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team.""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...""The pricing could be improved."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
