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."The solution is stable and reliable."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The setup is very easy."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
