"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."

"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."

"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."
"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."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
