We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Quest Rapid Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Not having to switch tapes is wonderful. It makes it so easy. We have an on-prem deployment that we also replicate to an offsite replication host. So by not having to deal with tapes and moving them off-site every day and every week, that's amazing ease of use for us."
"The solution offers a 100% guarantee that if it's backed up you will be able to restore it onto any platform you want."
"It is very easy to use and very easy to manage. The fact that I can easily recover data is valuable. I don't use it much. The only way I have been using it is that sometimes, people ask to recover the data, which is a very easy process. It takes only a few minutes to get in and get the data from the server."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The terminology didn't seem easily available. When I go to the website, it is hard to search for things. You get all the articles, then you finally get the search button. They need the search at the top of the knowledge base. Then, on occasion, if you get an error message in the system, which is very important, it says, "Click here for more information," but I never get more information. The search engine doesn't find it or it is some weird error. It has never worked for me."
"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up. There should be a better way to manage the space. You have to manage the incremental data to reduce the time."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."
