Chose Acronis Advanced Backup
I used Symantec Ghost probably 12 or 13 years ago - outside of that, I haven't looked elsewhere for an imaging software suite. Acronis Advanced Backup is fantastic at what is does, and supports previously made backups when you upgrade. So I have no fear utilizing them for the …

Gravit8 was originally making use of BackupAgent - which was then purchased by Acronis, redesigned, and rebranded. Since this acquisition, we have seen constant improvements and feel that Acronis Backup Cloud is in a league of its own.

We went with Acronis Backup Cloud because we're able to backup all platforms, not just PCs. And the price was good when it comes to all those options. It's a hard sell to clients, but when explained properly, the understand the cost of a good solution. It's like having good …

Chose Acronis Advanced Backup
Acronis is a great solution and provides a flexible amount of ways to backup and restore data. For software, it competes directly with Carbonite, ShadowProtect, Veeam, and Veritas. Most of these solutions are agent based and require licenses for each. Acronis does a great …
Chose Acronis Advanced Backup
Acronis Backup Cloud has more features than eFolder, and is less than 1/3rd of the cost. In terms of restores, it's faster than eFolder if you use the local component. The restoration component is much better than Carbonite's, which has a tendency to drop connection midway …
Chose Acronis Advanced Backup
I believe Acronis has the easiest interface to control backups and restores. The backup solution that didn't work the best for us was Symantec Backup. The other backup solutions (Unitrends, Barracuda,and Veeam) have similar backup features as Acronis and are recommended. …

Acronis
Acronis Backup Cloud is suited for backing up Windows Servers. Downtime is greatly decreased by using their virtualization options. You will need a Hyper-V enabled computer to virtualize, though, but this can be one of your general-use workstations. A Windows 10 Pro machine with 16 GB of RAM would do it for you. Or, if you have Macs that need to be backed up, you can do that as well. You can grab either full volume images, or files/folders. I can't really think of a scenario that you would not want Acronis Backup Cloud, except pre-Server 2012 OS's, since virtualization isn't supported on those older systems.

Cons
Acronis
  • They do not sell their product directly, so a reseller is needed - or third party website to process payments for them in order to download the product suite.
  • They have done away with stand-alone software purchases, and have moved to a yearly subscription-based model. It's affordable, but you never truly "own" the software now.

The cost savings we realized from moving to this software has us hooked - it does everything we need it to do on a very high level (virtualization, for example) and is very low cost for us.

We seldom make use of Acronis support, but when we have they have been brilliant. All our engineers are Acronis certified, if they not able to resolve an issue, we touch base with our local Acronis supplier, Synapsys, who resolve issues 90% of the time.

Return on Investment
Acronis
  • It's less than $100/year for three installs of the software - the price to utilize this fantastic software is absolutely marginal.
  • I believe they have a higher-end business product available, but it consumes a license each time it is used on a device - so I did not pursue any further information after discovering that.
