Acronis offers its storage and integrates with third-party solutions, providing antivirus and disaster recovery software. In comparison to Rui and other providers, Acronis stands out with a wide range of options. However, there's one issue with Acronis: the occasional downtime of their data centers for maintenance. This is a significant drawback, especially since data is crucial for customers, and the reliance on a single data center in India can lead to routing traffic to external data centers. This aspect should be improved.

Before choosing Acronis, we looked at Arcserve, Datto, and StorageCraft.

I did not look at any other products.

Symantec was the other choice, it and Retrospect. But I don't use Retrospect for server backups. I wouldn't trust it for that. I trust it for file backups, but not for server backups.

I tested Uni-Trends and Acronis at the same time and I went with Acronis because it impressed me.

We evaluated Druva before choosing this product. We chose Acronis due to the fact that we needed a simple product that could back up and give recovery to the cloud. Also, Druval was a bit pricier in comparison to Acronis.

I personally evaluated Dropbox, Veritas, and Veeam. Veeam is good as well.
