Acronis Cyber Protect Customer Service and Support

Vishal Mirchandani - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Cloud Solutions Engineer at Znet Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Their support process can be quite lengthy. First, we must collect the logs and share them in the proper format. We can expect a confirmation reply within approximately 24 hours, but then we have to wait another 24 to 48 hours to receive a response from their team.

If I were to rate the customer support provided by Acronis solution on a scale of one to ten, where one is bad, and ten is excellent, I would rate it slightly above average.

In our setup, there is an SI acting as an intermediary between our primary partner, from whom we acquired Acronis Cyber Protect. Typically, the SI handles initial support inquiries, and if they encounter challenges beyond their scope, they escalate the issue to the Acronis Success Center.

We raise a support ticket when we need help. Depending on what we write in the ticket, the support team will come back to us with a response. If the ticket is not very comprehensive, it will take longer. Sometimes, the ticket needs to be escalated, and we waste time.

Technical support is excellent. When I needed help, in the beginning, they did it with a remote connection. They were able to log into my system, take care of the problem, and explain what they did.

I have been in contact with them from time to time and they are still excellent.

The support and maintenance services at Acronis are the best I have ever encountered. When I open a support case or request maintenance, I hear back in two to three minutes, and for more major or critical matters, the response time is from three to seven days. Even when I reach out to Acronis by email, the staff is prompt to respond.

No matter who we are talking to, customers or competitors, we always offer advice on using Acronis. In my opinion, Acronis is the best software available on the market, better than other options such as Veeam Backup and Replication, Commvault Complete Data Protection, Symantec Online Backup, and Veritas NetBackup. We always suggest that customers use Acronis, and it is a reliable and solid option that we use ourselves in our company.

Technical support is not good. Support is often delayed because we don't have real-time support or the option of chat, which is not available yet. They are aware there's an issue and are hiring more support staff but my experience was not that good.

Technical support was excellent. You have several options for how to contact support. You can send them an email but I haven't tried that. The only method I've used is online chat. You open a chat window and wait a few minutes. Someone comes online and you have a conversation with them. They tell you the answer and they stay online until you solved your problem. Then, they send a followup email with a summary. It's essentially a record of your interaction and they ask, "Is your problem solved?" They keep the case open until I verify that the problem is solved. I don't know any better way to do it.

They also have the option that, if I give them permission, they will actually take over and do something. I have used that with other vendors but I haven't used that with them. They asked me if I wanted to do that, I said, "No, I'd rather learn to do this myself." It seems to me, based on the state-of-the-art and other pieces of software that I use, they're right up there. I have talked to five different people and they were all very knowledgeable. I should mention that I've used this with one of my customers. I actually used it with them before I used it here and I was very happy with that.

Acronis support is very strong and they're available 24/7, online via chat or email, or by telephone. There are times that we have faced issues, and when we opened tickets, they found solutions very fast.

Often, the team will read the logs that we supply, and then, in quick time, they find solutions. These are either fixed using patches or they make suggestions for changes to the settings. One of the reasons that our customers purchase Acronis is because they don't have major problems or bugs in their software.

I have been in touch with technical support and the last time, at least, was very good. We did get put in contact with a very good person who was able to help us. However, I know that my colleague had some problems a few years ago, so it might depend on who you get for support. Also, if you escalate the ticket to level two or level three support then it will be good.

The technical support needs some improvement. Although I haven't been requiring any support lately, I do not know how they are now. Initially, I had some issues with the response which was not very good, they were not quick. The support agent was requesting a lot of information that you had to send in order for them to check on the issue, instead of focusing on resolving the issue. It was a hassle.

Yes, yes. Since the beginning, I was telling you I've had problems with a few usernames and passwords for Windows here because some computers have Windows 10 Home Edition, and others ones have Windows Professional Edition.

Each computer works differently with the program, because some ones are in Windows Home and some ones in Windows Pro, so the installation works differently. That's why I had to call technical support in the beginning.

In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that. However, for mid-level issues, I'd give them a six out of ten. They take a long time to provide solutions.

Their support is very good. I usually get in contact with one of the engineers, so when we have questions or troubles with the production and the customer environment, he helps us a lot. 

That said, when we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets. We have to call the contact engineer to get any help. It's limited, the ability to raise a ticket when you are in the POC. For example, in the first month when we were conducting the POC, w couldn't reach the support. We had to call and mail. 

Still, for the most part, support is helpful. Every time we called the engineers, they responded to us and helped us.

Customer Service:

Not great to be honest. We had an issue with licences and purchasing problems and the standard response was very poor. Once you get through to the right person though – which we eventually did – they were great. But finding the right person who could help out was terrible

Technical Support:

Terrible to be honest. You almost never get through to someone who can understand you, nor who you can understand. To be fair once the technical issue is discovered the skill level of the technicians is actually very good. But the default support responses seem to revolve around restarting the services, restarting the server, uninstalling it, copying the backup job again, etc, etc.

The support is outstanding. It's around $15 a year to renew a license for support. I would recommend that others have it because in the event that your computer blows up, the motherboard blows up, you can always rebuild a brand-new computer and have it be the exact same configuration.

Network Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

I've talked to tech support several times. I would say they're a seven or eight out of 10.

This is going to sound bad, but this is the way it is in a lot of tech stuff. Whenever I call tech support and talk with somebody, and I can't understand them because of their accent, it's a problem. When I have support from a non native English speaker, it's very hard for me to understand stuff, and when they have to repeat things several times because I'm not sure what they're saying, to me that's a communication issue. If I'm calling the company, and I need support on their product, and I can't understand the person that I'm speaking with, then that's a communication issue that's not on me. That's on the company. 

It's not just Acronis that is like this, there are a lot of companies that are like this, and I understand why they do it. I'm just saying as an IT professional, it's very frustrating when you have to ask somebody to repeat things several times, or I repeat it and it's not correct, and they repeat it. And, we spend most of our time trying to figure out what each other is saying instead of fixing the problem. 

To me that's extremely frustrating.
