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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
