Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"It is a very stable solution."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"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."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Stability."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
