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 solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"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."
"They have great support."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"It does not delete locked files."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
