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."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"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 our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"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."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
