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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"This product is user-friendly."
"This is a good product and I feel confident recommending it to any of my customers."
"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."
"Using the backup as an image helps our organization to have a clean machine in disaster recovery."
"One of the main benefits from Acronis Disaster Recovery is that there is no downtime for the end users, because if your server is down, you can quickly switch to the disaster recovery server in the cloud and continue running your application, ensuring that your users, customers, and clients do not experience any downtime, which is one crucial benefit."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
 

Cons

"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"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 cost is acceptable."
"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."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."
"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."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
