Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very stable solution.""The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details.""Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back.""It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms.""Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR).""Centralized management is valuable to us.""One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration.""I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."

"Backup and application continuity are most valuable.""The most valuable aspect for me is undoubtedly the failover capability and the assurance of data safety provided by Oracle Data Guard.""With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations.""Oracle Data Guard is scalable. I rate it a ten out of ten.""Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time.""One of the most valuable features is real-time replication. The version we're using is reliable and easy to deploy.""Snapshot and Data Guard Manager are awesome features.""The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."

Cons
"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 an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear.""I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks.""We would always support better pricing.""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.""The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.""We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"There is an issue with their application on ODG. There were a lot of edits in the logs. Sometimes, we only get a little cue from the Data Guard Broker logs if there's an issue.""A significant improvement for Oracle Data Guard would be enabling the disaster recovery site to handle read and write operations, not just data storage.""Overall, there are some operational issues that need to be dealt with.""The implementation is complex for anyone who's jumping into it without any experience. It's all command-line driven implementations. For some, that's a turn-off.""The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard.""We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands.""When the data replicates into the standby database there is a possibility of having a microsecond amount of data loss. The data loss occurs when there is a network disconnection between the primary and secondary standby database located in the data centers or if there is a crash in the primary database.""The product could improve its pricing."
