Feature complete, useful cloning, and helpful support
Acronis Backup has been beneficial for our organization because it allows our mobile employees to create backups while they are in the field, rather than having to come back to the office to do so. This is particularly useful because, in the past, we had to rely on our office network to perform backups using Azure and Veeam. With Acronis, as long as our mobile employees have ethernet connectivity, they can create backups remotely, which has been convenient and efficient. Using Acronis Backup has helped our organization by allowing us to create backups of data accessed by mobile employees in the field, which has reduced the risk of data loss due to theft, loss of laptops, or other incidents. This has improved our operations by helping us to protect our data and prevent losses that could impact our business.

Cons

"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

"The initial setup is complex."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
