Cons
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support.""Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products.""The documentation can be improved, this would have helped.""The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment.""The product should improve compute points.""The cost is acceptable.""I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities.""They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information.""The product is not user-friendly.""The initial setup was complex.""StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly.""The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week.""I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again.""The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
