We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup is very easy.""I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware.""For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible.""Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back.""The pricing is fine.""One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device.""If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect.""Acronis Backup is easy to use."

Cons
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful.""In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me.""The pricing could be improved.""Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing.""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.""The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.""The support and documentation must be improved.""When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
