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."I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"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."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner. With granular recovery, any database or even just a database table can be restored at will."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
