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.

"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."

"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."

"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
 

Cons

"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"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."
"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"The cost is acceptable."
"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 stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"They need to support more platforms."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"Lacks online training."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"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 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."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"The product has an affordable price."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."
"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."
