"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The solution has reduced backup times by an immeasurable amount. Its backups are incremental, so you are only backing up data changes based on the last 24 hours or so. If you are also maintaining the stored images, the restores are also only incremental, happening in minutes. Whereas, with a lot of the other solutions that we have looked at, each time it goes to refresh the restore, then it has to build a completely new image. That takes forever. This solution also improves recovery time."
"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."
"Because the package includes cloud storage, we don't need to worry about hosting it inside. That was very important to us. And because the vendor has data centers worldwide, our reps in Europe and other places can get to what they need quickly and easily."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"The ease of use and the console are great."
"The ability to back up, restore, and do different types of testing for the preventative maintenance has really increased our importance to these clients because they see the value in how fast we can get them back up and running. We're saving them money in that way."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"It does not delete locked files."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"The reporting feature and functionality need improvement. We would like to see a little bit more detailed reporting that offers more CEO or C-level focused reporting options."
"This solution is not very good for image restores, mainly just files. The solution also does not allow you to enable or disable backups. Sometimes, our users will connect via mobile device and it will use their data to perform the backup. If they were able to enable and disable the backup, they would not have this issue."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"I have some issues with the agent failing on workstations. I've had to completely uninstall several of them, delete everything, and start over to get them to work."
