Functionally rich automatic backup solution with testing
Pros and Cons
  • "Acronis has a very rich functionality."
  • "Our customers are impressed with the scalability and richness of the different functions."
  • "I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."

What is our primary use case?

Our organization is the regional seller for Acronis. Our customers are looking to backup part of their infrastructure (virtual servers) and database.

What is most valuable?

Acronis has a very rich functionality.

What needs improvement?

I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for a little over one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

it has been very stable over the past year. We have not seen any issues and it is very easy to test backups.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our customers are impressed with the scalability and richness of the different functions. We have only used twenty to thirty percent of what could be used.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward and had clear, well defined infrastructure virtualization. For our most recent project, we were allotted three months for the setup and were able to complete it in one.

What other advice do I have?

If you are looking for specific functions and/or automatic backup with testing, definitely look into Acronis.

Speedy performance and good archiving capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
  • "It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
  • "This solution would not scale well in a large environment."

What is our primary use case?

I use this product to back up files and data across our LAN. I'm doing a new backup every month, and you can archive these monthly backups.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using. I do full backups about once a month and differential ones most days. The fact is that it's very easy to cut out the middle ones and just keep the last differential, thus reducing the space usage.

It comes with a few extra tools that I use from time to time, such as a disk-clone utility.

The backup process is reasonably speedy. It finished the backup in a reasonable amount of time, ready to work the next day.

What needs improvement?

This solution would not scale well in a large environment.

It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not experienced any problems with performance or stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't used it in a large environment but certainly, it works well enough in the environment that we have here. We have approximately six users. It is not the type of product that would be well-suited for a large environment.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Arcserve and another backup solution.

For a smaller environment, which is what we have now, Acronis is fine.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for anybody who is considering Acronis is that it's a good product and fairly easy to keep up to date.

With respect to compatibility, with backups, you can usually read from version to version. Perhaps it has the ability to merge backups, which would be helpful when trying to manage backups over long periods.

In general, I am pretty satisfied with this product. I can't think of anything that I've needed that it doesn't have.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Easy to deploy and suitable for a small organization with little or no knowledge of backup solutions, but should integrate with more platforms
Pros and Cons
  • "In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
  • "A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for backing up local PCs and other things. We don't use it for Office 365. It is used for simple and basic use cases.

I am using its latest version.

How has it helped my organization?

We use it for some very basic stuff on the local machines. It is mostly used for drive-to-drive copy and file or folder restoration.

What is most valuable?

In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs. 

What needs improvement?

A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is okay.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, but we have very few people who use this solution. We use it for very basic things. 

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted their technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

It is used for something very specific. It is a very small percentage of the whole environment. For the enterprise part of the organization, we are using other solutions, such as Commvault and Veeam.

How was the initial setup?

It is straightforward. It has a three-clicks installation. There is nothing special, and it is pretty okay from this perspective.

What about the implementation team?

I can do it by myself.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities.

What other advice do I have?

If you're a small organization with little or no knowledge of the backup solution environment, it'll be okay for you.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Protects against malware and includes recovery and software management features
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management, and I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We have used Acronis Backup for VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V host, and physical servers.

We are currently using version 15. The solution is deployed on-premise. We haven't tried to integrate with other solutions.

What is most valuable?

Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface.

What needs improvement?

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.

Support could be improved. For complex cases, support should be available quickly and without any delay.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for more than three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is responsive. In some cases, if it is complex, then it goes to level one of support, and that takes time. It could be faster.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I would recommend this solution. It is suitable for organizations of every size and for any sort of platform, like Nutanix, a hypervisor, VMware, or Hyper-V.

It's manageable and requires little maintenance, but it has some limitations with cloud backup compared to other solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
  • "Acronis is a highly effective product; it's easy to use and manage."
  • "Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
  • "Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side, but Veeam's cloud backup is quite efficient on cloud backup, especially when it comes to Microsoft 365, etc."

What is our primary use case?

We use Acronis for data backup.

What is most valuable?

The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support.

What needs improvement?

Mobile backup is something that would be good to have. I can't think of anything else, but some performance enhancements and additional features would always be welcome.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been reselling Acronis for a few years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Acronis is relatively stable. I haven't seen any significant stability issues, and we don't have any serious concerns with performance aside from typical operational issues, which we see once in a while.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Acronis is easy to scale. 

How are customer service and support?

Acronis customer support is excellent. The vendor is responsive.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We use Veeam and Veritas. They are similar products. Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side, but Veeam's cloud backup is quite efficient on cloud backup, especially when it comes to Microsoft 365, etc. Now I think Acronis also has those capabilities.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Acronis is quite simple. We mostly do it internally. Once our staff is fully trained, we should be able to do it all ourselves, but until then, we'll get help from the vendor. The total time for deployment depends on the size of the project. It can take anywhere from one day to a few days. Acronis requires almost no maintenance.  

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price could be more competitive.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Acronis Backup seven out of 10. I would recommend it because Acronis is a highly effective product. It's easy to use and manage.
