"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the integration part, along with the subsequent hardware."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"The solution is very flexible."
"It is easy to implement for my clients."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."

"We would always support better pricing."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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 would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"The product's stability could be better."
