Acronis Cyber Cloud for Enterprise (discontinued) vs. GoodSync

Acronis Cyber Cloud is well suited in any environment where backup is needed. Whether it is backing up a single workstation, 10 servers, or replicating a Virtual machine to another Virtual Host.

It is mainly because of its features and reliability. Even when dealing with large drives, after the analysis step, it can identify the changes that occurred between the backup or synchronization drive and the master drive and presents to the use the choices of what should be done about the changes. The user can accept the changes or tweak which the backup or synchronization will do. The SW will remember those decisions for future activities on the same drives.

• Image backup.
• File folder backup.
• Virtual machine replication.
• Workstation backup.
• Server backup.

• Quickly analyzes the drives and compares files and dates to give a complete picture
• Gives you complete control over what to do with files that are similar but my not be matching. (same name, different size or date)

• We would like to see a Virtual Machine test option to test the ability to boot your backups as seen in some competing backup softwares.

• Can't sync to Sharepoint 2016 at this time. Which is a problem since we are on 2016 already.

Support has been helpful when we have had to reach out. We have not had to contact support that much so I do not have much feedback on them. I met the support team at the Cyber Summit and they are all very nice, smart individuals.

Acronis is by far much easier to configure and gain access to cloud resources. Acronis is cloud only whereas Veeam requires an on prem server. We tested both and have found that we were unable to accomplish our goals utilizing Veeam.

For reliability, GoodSync is beyond comparison. Some of the other tools I tried either fail through the backup/synchronization process, leaving one with unknown status of what has been backed up and what has not, wasting an inordinate amount of time because one has to repeat the whole process. Goodsync, even if it stops because of power glitches can easily pick up where it left after performing the analysis

• Acronis has made our backup process much smoother.
• Less tech time needed to configure backups.
• Less tech time needed to restore backups.

• This has saved many hours of work because occasionally the flash drives die, break, fail or get left behind somewhere. The time to get all the files and software back in working order would take a day or two. By keeping several of them identical with GoodSync, work goes on without missing a beat.
