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."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."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"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."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"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 be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
