Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use.""For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines.""I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup.""In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that.""There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory.""I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones.""It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms.""The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."

Cons
"The support and documentation must be improved.""I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface.""I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks.""Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement.""A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms.""It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools.""There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned.""The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
