Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance has been fine so far.""In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs.""It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface.""Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud.""This is a perfect option for an SMB.""The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use.""Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution.""Universal Restore is valuable to us."

"It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light.""It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite.""It works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure.""The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization.""The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community.""Bacula is pretty stable.""It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."

Cons
"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.""I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups.""It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools.""Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier.""The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth.""The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery.""If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive...""The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist.""Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy.""The initial setup could be a bit easier.""Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement.""We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI.""It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company.""A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
