We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Quest Rapid Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"One feature I found that's the most valuable in Quest Rapid Recovery is the VM standby feature which is very useful for my current customer. The solution also has a great replication feature. The third most valuable feature in Quest Rapid Recovery is the five-minute RPO and the fifteen-minute RTO. The solution is also very user-friendly."
"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up. There should be a better way to manage the space. You have to manage the incremental data to reduce the time."
"Sometimes, when we have certain batches for Windows, it needs to be restarted. When it's restarted, the service is configured as a delayed start. Sometimes, you need to wait too long until it rights itself, or you have to do it manually."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"It's not really Quest's fault, but the only issue that I had during the time when I was doing a lot of our restores is whenever the server reboots, it has to bring all of the repositories back in again, which takes around five to six hours to pull eight terabytes back in again."
