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 most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"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."
"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data. It also enables really fast recovery."
"The main advantage is its fast backup and restore."
"The simplicity of backup and restore directly with VMware is an advantage and the time to backup and restore is reduced."
"Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the RBAC, the Role-Based Access Control. In our managed service, we can have different layers of security."
"The Exchange plugin is the most valuable because we have a lot of customers that use SnapManager Exchange and have to migrate to SnapCenter."
"It has greatly improved our DR activity."
"The backup process finishes very quickly."
"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."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"I feel a little bit that during the whole process of putting this software into production we were like a beta program. It was full of bugs... For example, we had a problem with truncating our Exchange log files... It has improved over time."
"Some of the minor functionalities from SnapManager did not transfer over to SnapCenter. These should be added in future releases."
"Plugins should be developed in shorter times. Performance generally could be a little bit faster."
"Reporting of the jobs could be better."
"The product lags in terms of availability."
"The compatibility with other manufacturers, like Oracle and Hyper-V, could be improved. I would like to see it be more compatible with other software."
"The UI, the User Interface, needs to be improved. It's not as clean or modern as it could be."
"We have hundreds of servers and systems and hundreds of customers and they're separated in a multi-tenancy way in NetApp SVM. Right now, the problem is that it always scan all SVMs. If I backup Customer A, it scans all SVMs, or tries to scan all SVMs, if there is a backup relationship on the storage. But it doesn't have the permissions, so we run into timeouts or the backup just takes too long. They're fixing that in the upcoming release..."
