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 setup is very easy."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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 have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
