Effective data recovery with strong backup features
I am not using the blockchain-based data integrity verification feature. We have not implemented proactive ransomware protection and anti-malware features, so they have not been helpful to my customers. For shared drives, when configuring SharePoint services for backup, licensing becomes difficult to understand, so that would be a point of interest for improvement. The licensing features should be improved. The licensing for SharePoint should be more visible for SharePoint services backup to make it more feasible and understandable. In terms of management, group management is not available for bulk activities, which I have previously given feedback on in a training session conducted by Acronis. If you want to do any recovery for bulk users, the option for bulk activities is not available in Acronis currently. Bulk activity should be available. Technical support from Acronis requires some improvisation; we do not get on-time support, and we face issues connecting with the account manager, which needs to be improved.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support
MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a user or company, we found Acronis is beneficial in terms of support, product, and scalability."
"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"DR and failover are good features of the tool."
"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."
"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
 

Cons

"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"There is room for improvement in incorporating intelligence around disaster recovery. For instance, if a server is completely offline and destroyed, the system should offer an intelligent response, providing options to start recovery without requiring manual intervention from engineers."
"We need the server configuration capacity to be enlarged with the solution's help, as it does not currently include capabilities for storage expansion during recovery."
"The product should improve compute points."
"Apart from the cost, which is one aspect, there is no improvement I can think of at the moment for Acronis Disaster Recovery. The only area for improvement is the price."
"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"The cost is acceptable."
"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
