"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"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 support and documentation must be improved."
"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."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"Space is always an issue."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
