"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"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."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"They have great support."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"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."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"We would always support better pricing."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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 would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"It could be a little more customizable."
