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 has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The pricing is fine."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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 backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"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."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
