The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team.

As to whether the solution gets deployed on a public cloud or on-premises, I would like to say that Acronis Backup requires data backup to be saved on Acronis Cloud Storage. However, the decision of where to store the backup depends solely on the requirement of the customers or end users. Based on their preference, they may choose to store the backup locally, on their network drive, on their cloud server, or on Acronis Cloud Storage. Ultimately, the location of the backup storage is determined by the customer's needs.

The tool's deployment is straightforward. 

The solution’s initial setup is extremely easy.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution’s initial setup ten out of ten.

I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. We have an on-premise version, and we use the cloud console. The deployment takes half an hour.

We found the initial setup to be straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. However, I am not sure how long the deployment itself took. We had ten people working on it. 

The initial setup process was quite straightforward for me. Though one needs to be aware of certain technical terms and names, overall, it was manageable.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes two hours. 

You have an installation file that includes everything you need. You can do a backup within two hours. 

The cloud is integrated into the same console as the local backup. 

We only need one person to manage the setup process. 

I needed help from technical support in the beginning when I first started working with it.

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed in 30 minutes. Some of the smaller businesses we work with, want us to run this for them while other manage this process themselves. 

This is a plug and play solution so you don't need a lot of people for maintenance once you have set up the permissions. When maintenance or attention is needed, you will receive alerts. 

The initial setup is very simple. The full deployment process took half an hour.

We worked on the solution's demo software initially to understand the process. It took us a week to complete it. I rate the process as an eight.

The tool’s initial setup is straightforward. The overall deployment takes one week to complete but the software can be installed within a day. You need to install the management console and then pick up the agent. We can take the backup post these processes.

This product is very straightforward to set up. It's not a complex process. 

Thanks to Acronis, setting it up is incredibly easy. Even for someone with no technical experience, it's a breeze. As a partner, when I introduce the product to customers, it only takes me an hour or two to explain how it works. Acronis has a user-friendly interface that can be operated in just a few steps.

The amount of time needed to deploy in larger environments typically takes up to five hours, depending on the number of users, machines, and servers involved. For example, it took less than five hours to deploy Acronis on 20 servers, 50 virtual machines, and 100 workstations using the tools provided by Acronis such as unattended installation and network Discovery.

I don't need many resources to install Acronis Backup. Generally, the basic requirements for either a server or PC are enough. Acronis covers almost all platforms so there are no special requirements. The amount of space needed for installation is also not excessive.

The initial setup is straightforward. It involves installing the agent, which gets connected to the cloud system. Then, the backup can begin within a few minutes.

There were some issues with the initial setup, we chose Google for storage and when it came to disaster recovery, it didn't work so I had to go back and redo everything again using Acronis Cloud instead. We lost some time as a result. I did the implementation but we had some support from Acronis. 

The setup complexity was medium. The single disk is easy. The advanced version for multiple computers was medium in complexity.

Its installation is not very difficult. It is pretty straightforward. With a little guidance from the manuals and other resources, a regular skilled engineer can easily perform the installation. Of course, it is not suitable for a layman.

We have two engineers supporting it. We also have one Sales and Account Management person for managing the plans.

Initial setup would be straightforward if I had read the directions. Let's put it that way. I just went ahead and installed it when I got the package. I ran the setup and took the defaults. Here is the way this works: There's a backup manager and you're supposed to manage all your backups from there. Then, there's a backup service that runs on each computer that you're backing up.

What I didn't understand when I set this up is I was installing a different manager on each computer. I had to go to every one to do the backups and I said, "This isn't right, there's got to be a way around." What I found out is, if I had read the directions, they would have said, "Well, you can run the backup manager on a central computer or you can run it in the cloud, or you can run it on each separate computer.” The third option doesn't give you any centralization.

I needed some help from them to change over from what I did and get it all in one computer. They were able to help me in one chat. They told me exactly what to do and when I did that, it worked. All of a sudden, the light bulb lit up about how this works.

There's good documentation on the Acronis Cyber Protect website on how to do things, plus the training courses that we took from its portal. They really help. We also have support from the product's presales engineers. They always support us whenever we run into a problem.

For a Microsoft 365 backup plan, the deployment process typically takes around half an hour, where we explain to the customer how things are done. However, the duration of backup plans involving endpoint devices with Acronis Cyber Protect varies based on the organization's size.

A considerable amount of resources is needed for massive deployments in large organizations. This is particularly true when the devices are not centralized in a managed platform, meaning they are not joined to an active directory or MDM solution. In such cases, the tool's agent must be installed on each device individually, or network scanning may be attempted, but it often proves ineffective. Joining the devices to an MDM or an active directory streamlines the deployment process. Otherwise, having a list of users and installing the agent individually for each one becomes necessary.

We had two to three instances where the users had complained that the agents made the systems slow. 

It was difficult because of the security logins that are different for each computer.

The setup was straightforward. It was just following the directions on the screen.

Setup is straightforward.

The initial setup is simple. It is not complex at all.

The initial setup was straightforward for me. I'm technical, so it was easy. It took about an hour to protect my servers and registration service.

Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively.

The initial setup can be painful if someone has no experience using the tool. It is not 100% intuitive. However, we do it a lot. So, it is fairly simple for us. The product is cloud-based.

We are trying to install the Acronis agent ourself but my colleague and I are experiencing errors.

The TrueImage versions are super easy to install. The initial setup is really easy if you know what you're doing. You just have to download it from the web, run it, and install it. It's very straightforward, there's nothing really difficult about it. The only little technical bit comes with the Cyber Cloud versions where you now have to install a Cyber Cloud console, and then you have to create a backup job and you have to assign the backup job to a computer. For an average person, that would be slightly tricky to do, whereas a reseller or a service provider could easily do that.

Deployment on one machine only takes a few minutes. You literally select the product you're going to install from the cyber console, download the agent, install the agent on the computer, create the backup job, and then link the backup job to the agent. It probably takes about 10 minutes to set up the whole thing.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. My colleague handled the implementation and from what I could see, it was quite fast and there were no issues. On person is suitable for deployment.

Version 11.7 was a pain to install on a workstation, but 12.5 is nothing. You go to a workstation, put the software in, and register the license, then it's done.

For Acronis Cyber Protect's installation, you just need to enter a portal. We have five engineers involved in the tool's maintenance. 

Its setup is very easy. You can do it by yourself. Everything is managed via the cloud, so you don't need to have a server to run it. It is very easy and very good.

The installation is not difficult. There is a process of registration that you have to complete. When you install Acronis Backup, you have to do a registration of the endpoint to allow it to register on the portal. For that, you need to have the credentials and login, and sometimes it's a hassle. I understand there's no other way around the registration, it has to be done this way.

How to manage the program is real easy and really fast. I don't have a

problem.

But, I told you, if the person doesn't have knowledge about networking, like what is IPRs, and what is the domain name, and very technical issues or information, that person will have a problem.

If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for.

Setting up the backup server is quite a complex process. There is a bit of a learning curve. You have to make sure that all your services are up and that the actual machine is up and running. If the machine goes down, then you won't have any visibility into what is actually happening.

The installation of the product is not as hard as the configuration process. For instance, the licensing can be quite daunting because you still need a cloud license or access to a cloud portal. This is the old legacy portal where you have to upload the license file and then register it directly from there or download a registered file that you can upload onto the machine. This would then activate the machine. If you only want to do a local backup or backup to local storage, it will work fine. However, if you try to attach cloud storage to it, then another level of complexity will come into play.

This is a simple product and the setup of the backup can be done in 30 minutes. An infrastructure does not need to be set up to complete the setup. The setup involves creating a console, installing agents and beginning the backup.

The solution was easy to install and to deploy. Everything was good. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy.

Very simple. I can create a backup program in just in minutes because I know the program so well. It is very easy to set up if you know anything about computers, and even if you're not familiar with computers.

It takes me no time at all and the backup procedure is pretty much straightforward, depending on how complicated your system is. 

I'm using the pro version. Personally, I think that the home version is more complicated to set up than the professional version, for some reason. You would think it would be the other way around.

Relatively Straightforward. We needed to create an in house script to purge old images (vs using something like a product retention setting). This may have been corrected in subsequent versions.

It is straightforward to set up and very user-friendly. The cloud solution is very simple as is the on-premise. There's not very much complexity. The only thing there is that may be tricky is we need to use a backup gateway. We need Acronis cyberinfrastructure when we want something like non-internet connectivity users to do a backup or something like that. Therefore, when we have a use case like that, we have to do cyberinfrastructure. Apart from that, the on-premise and cloud deployment are user-friendly. Anyone can easily configure and use it.

I'd rate the entire process a four out of five in terms of ease of deployment. It only takes about half an hour to set up. You install the management server and then install the agent on the machine. Then, with the use cases we are trying, it takes a bit of time. We tried to back up mailboxes, and we tried to back up workstations. It takes time to do this part. However, the actual setting up didn't take any time.

The initial implementation was not complex or difficult. It was very easy, very straightforward. 

The deployment itself only takes about an hour or so. It's not a long and drawn-out process. 

You only need one person - an admin - for the deployment and maintenance tasks. 

The initial setup was somewhat straightforward.

Acronis Backup's initial setup is simple.

The installation was not a problem for me, it was straightforward.

The initial setup is very easy. You just connect the USB port to the server, and it'll see another logical drive. If you use software like GFI Backup, you can program replica backups or have other types of information copied in this logical drive. 

You need one person who is the main IT employee and another person who helps the IT Manager maintain this solution.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's easy and very straightforward.

The deployment is fast. It only takes about 20 minutes or so.

The setup was pretty straightforward. We didn't have any problems at all with it.

What we wanted to achieve was actually very straightforward in itself but the final install ended up being very complicated because half of the things the software was SUPPOSED to do – it didn’t!

The setup was straightforward. You install the little client on the computer, then you go to the central management and set up when you want it to backup; it was very easy.

Very easy to setup.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was actually easy.

The first client was in a different city and it was just one visit to review the environment to size it accordingly.

Our technical team installed a few agents on the PCs. 

The maintenance is done remotely, with remote support and no onsite requirement. This is for a cloud-based setup.

The setup was very straightforward, it was easy. There weren't any complications to it.

It is not hard a hard thing to set up. Acronis is one solution I have interacted with and it is a bit simpler/easier compared to some other ones which I have interacted with. When it comes to setup, I have no problems. 

Setting up Acronis is quite simple. We mostly do it internally. Once our staff is fully trained, we should be able to do it all ourselves, but until then, we'll get help from the vendor. The total time for deployment depends on the size of the project. It can take anywhere from one day to a few days. Acronis requires almost no maintenance.  

As noted above, the initial installation of the product was difficult. However subsequent releases and updates have been easily applied. I assume that the initial installation has been improved since 2011.

Setup is very simple.

I called support about the setup. I called support a couple times because (I think it was) my memory faded. It was straightforward after that.

We have several different Windows servers and several different kinds of servers, some virtual and some not, and all in all it was just kind of a complicated set up. 

None that I found difficult. Configuration is mostly wizard-based, so its pretty straightforward.

You could use training for setup, but if they just made quick tutorial videos, for example, this is how you do a backup, a local backup, and have the video go through and do it. You would watch it. You would be looking at the same screen as you look at if you were doing it yourself. And then somebody would narrate. "This is what you do: you do this, you do this, you do this." Just walk through the steps. It doesn't have to be really detailed. Rather, when you get to an option where there's a question, and it's a yes or no question: "This is where you select this." Just a little video that's two minutes or three minutes long that shows you how to set up a backup. Something as simple as that.

A lot of people in the tech industry, or people who do this for living, they learn things quicker this way; in other words, show me once, I can do it. 

You don't need to have it for the lowest common denominator, make it kind of a medium level. Worse case scenario, they just rewind and watch it again. To me, if they did that then you'd have little videos where you see how to do things, how you use the app. Instead of it being written out, it's actually where I can visually see it. Some people learn better reading something, some people learn better doing something, some people learn better watching something, so give them different avenues.

It is straightforward. It has a three-clicks installation. There is nothing special, and it is pretty okay from this perspective.

It is quite simple to deploy. I have my own team for its maintenance. There are four or five qualified engineers.

The setup was fairly straightforward. It's a little bit beyond a casual user, some technical expertise was required, but it went fine.

The initial setup was straightforward and had clear, well defined infrastructure virtualization. For our most recent project, we were allotted three months for the setup and were able to complete it in one.

The initial setup is straightforward. You just deploy the program and the setup. Then you just have to specify what you need to backup with the schedule that you want. That's it.

I'm using the software as a service, so there's no installation.

The initial setup is slightly complex because the interface design is poor. So certainly, we've often had to scrap our strategies and go back and redo them. I would say that it's slightly complex to get to what you want.

You have to recognize that you might have to go and do it again once or twice until you get it working exactly the way you want it to work.

It was straightforward as the the admin control was easy to understand when performing the install.

The setup was straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward however some companies prefer to do customization, which makes it complex and Acronis does not really help much when it becomes complex, especially for backup into the storage or NAS.

Yes, straight forward with clear instructions.

The initial setup was straightforward. The management interface is intuitive.

The setup was straightforward, i.e., one standalone installation on one server connected to one iSCSI drive to store the image.

The solution is simple to deploy with the provided documentation that was very detailed.

There was some difficulty setting up administrative groups and users, but that was related to the operating system, not the product.

Pushing the agent did not work. We had to install it manually on each server.

The initial setup is super easy and super easy to follow; straightforward. That is the benefit of the ease of use with Acronis solutions. 

The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files. I've been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need.

The setup was not complex.

The initial setup was simple. It was done in ten minutes. 

I set it up for somebody else. 

The setup is straightforward.

The setup was straightforward, and it installed quickly.

Setup is fairly straightforward.

The initial setup is a little complex because of the pricing structure.

I found it pretty straightforward.

The initial setup is complex and it took a month to deploy.

It was fairly straightforward.

It was straightforward.

Yes to perform install on Hyper-V posed a number of challenges, needed to ensure VSS was operating properly was the main one.

The setup was average, not very hard but also not a one-click installation.
