"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."

"Homogeneity is most valuable. The truth is that having everything in a single cluster helps a lot."
"It gives us tons of flexibility. We can create new machines, then destroy them if they don't work out. We test a lot of use cases that may or may not play out. We can build all types of scenarios into virtual machines that we may or may not use. If we don't use them, we just turn them off, no using up resources."
"I have found that the admin deployment, monitoring off-premises, and the many services important features. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"The scalability of VxRail is very good."
"The support has been excellent, especially if you compare it to IBM."
"It helps our servers and it is very efficient."
"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."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"It does not delete locked files."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The update for the graphics integration and the media drivers isn't included in the VxRail update."
"You have to buy a new server if you want to scale up."
"Next release, we would like to see online applications."
"When it comes to maintenance, it takes 16 hours to upgrade a 12 node VxRail plus. This could be improved in the system."
"VxRail should try to improve the pricing."
"The scalability is limited to a single cluster with 64 nodes."
"We do not use the storage part of VxRail, we use Pure Storage to map out the VxRail because the disk performance from Pure Storage was far better than the performance of the disk on the inside of VxRail."
"It's not really flexible with different use cases."
