"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"It is fairly stable."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"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."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"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."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
