"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"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."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"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 command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"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."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"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..."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"This solution is not scalable."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
