Calculating the Return on Investment for backup solutions is challenging, as it functions similarly to an insurance policy. The real value is realized when there is a system failure or data loss. Despite this difficulty in quantifying ROI, we are content with Acronis Cyber Protect, and the satisfaction derived from the service outweighs the associated costs.

The solution does provide a good ROI. 

The return on investment was great because it saved us many times, it saved our lives many times. We lost a machine and we could recover it using Acronis Backup. The return of investment measurement is great.

We have seen ROI with the use of the solution.

For most companies, data is the most valuable asset: financial statements, customer databases, ERP systems, emails, etc. When planning for disasters, businesses must ask themselves several questions. “Should we protect our data?” “Can we rebuild without that data?” “How long do we have to rebuild before customers, suppliers, and investors go elsewhere?” The answer is Backup and Disaster Recovery. The best way is to demonstrate that disaster recovery is not with cost — but an investment with a positive ROI.

The math for the rate of return is a bit complicated. 

The ROI depends on the customers and their investments. The backup solution and anything concerning ROI cannot decline. Still, whenever the customer has issues where the data gets corrupted, it becomes a valuable product because we can restore the data. Most industry people or IT heads do not invest much because they think there is good security and infrastructure, but you never know when you will be compromised because there are thousands of hackers targeting a company. Hence, the solution has ROI.

It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it.

The product's ROI comes at a great value. 

I have seen a return on investment with Acronis Backup.

Massive peace of mind and the certain knowledge that we can recover from any disaster goes way beyond the cost of the product.

Somewhat difficult to quantify. The key for me at the time was allowing my Engineers to have their weekends free vs rotating them through a schedule so that servers were taken offline and imaged during the change window. Post-implementation, this fell to zero and boosted morale by allowing the engineers to enjoy their weekends with their families. In this instance, showing the team that I valued their personal lives and was willing to pay to insure their quality of life resulted in a dedicated team that was thankful and produced more.

This organization also highly mission critical server applications where RTO was very low. We did use Load Balancers and other technologies, but for a catastrophic failure this solution presented an RTO of roughly 1 Hour (depending on the size of the server) although often less. It became routine to run an off cycle image before any major physical server upgrade, thus improving the speed from development to QA to production. Developers could be less leery of major changes knowing that the back-out was quick and reliable.

Can't really say in monetary terms but it is really Time-saving. Extremely time efficient.

I have been able to recover all my costs associated with the installation.

5 years.

Protection of the production environment.

2 to 3 years.
