Sentiment score
8.5
<p>Infrascale's Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery service boasts responsive, proactive support with knowledgeable staff, quick resolutions, and user satisfaction.</p>
I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
The most valuable aspects of Infrascale’s support for my company are the turnaround time and the resolution time.
Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Acronis Cyber Protect is scalable, flexible, and performant, with minor issues affecting on-premise users more than cloud users.
Sentiment score
6.7
Infrascale Backup offers scalable, efficient management but may need upgrades for hardware and capacity during significant growth.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
One person can manage hundreds and hundreds of endpoints without any issues.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Acronis Cyber Protect is dependable, stable, with efficient backups, though updates and UI delays pose occasional challenges.
Sentiment score
8.5
Users find Infrascale Backup reliable with minimal issues; responsive support and improved usability enhance overall satisfaction.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect could improve user interface, installation, compatibility, performance, support, pricing, and integration for enhanced functionality.
Users seek improved pricing clarity, bandwidth control, security, integration, dashboard functionality, intuitive interface, SSDs, and flexible licensing.
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers affordable licensing options, though some find it expensive in large environments, yet valued for capabilities.
Infrascale's pricing is competitive and flexible, though users find the licensing structure complex and occasionally higher than competitors.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect combines easy interface, backup, and cybersecurity for versatile OS support with centralized management and cloud storage.
Infrascale offers easy, rapid disaster recovery with robust features like fast VM boot-up, centralized management, and strong data protection.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.

Featured Reviews

Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.
Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
