Have improved recovery preparedness and see potential growth with better technical support
Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent. This reduces the workload on endpoints during backups and other cybersecurity operations. Backup is crucial as it allows data recovery. Email security helps protect against malicious emails. The failover process is preconfigured, offering a simplistic switch over for servers.

Cons

"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."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."

"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"The product should improve compute points."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has an affordable price."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The price is affordable."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
