Acronis Backup Cloud has been a vital tool for DMI Networking, a managed service provider for dentists, in efficiently backing up servers and devices. This transition from eFolder to Acronis Backup Cloud not only resulted in significant cost savings of over $1500 per month but also introduced a range of enhanced features. One such feature is the ability to virtualize a server from backup media, enabling quick restoration of dental practices within just 15 minutes. The implementation of Acronis Backup Cloud by two individuals at DMI Networking has allowed them to offer this reliable backup solution to multiple organizations they handle.

Thanks to its comprehensive coverage, Acronis Backup Cloud effectively secures entire systems, including cloud, virtual, and mobile platforms. Its ability to facilitate bare-metal restore in case of major crashes ensures uninterrupted operations for dental practices. In addition, Acronis Backup Cloud offers seamless integration with VMware Vcloud and Office 365 mailboxes, making it an ideal choice for DMI Networking's backup needs. The advantage of accessing backups from anywhere and easily restoring or downloading backup items from the online console further adds flexibility and convenience to the backup process. With Acronis Backup Cloud as their primary solution for backup and disaster recovery, DMI Networking has found it easier than ever to ensure business continuity for their managed customers. Whether it's on-premises or cloud-based infrastructures, including databases like Exchange and SQL, Acronis Backup Cloud offers compatibility and flexibility that aligns with diverse IT environments. The significant reduction in backup infrastructure costs and improved reliability achieved through this software have further solidified Acronis Backup Cloud as an essential tool for DMI Networking. Additionally, the support for virtual machines of hyper-v and VMWare simplifies the execution and storage of backups in the Acronis cloud. DMI Networking's IT department relies on Acronis Backup 12 standard edition as a reliable solution for backing up their local environment, encompassing VMware machines and physical Windows servers.

Quick Virtualization Solution: Users have consistently mentioned that Acronis is a quick virtualization solution, with many stating that it has helped them get systems back up and running within 15-30 minutes.

Secure Encryption Feature: The encryption feature of Acronis backups has been highly praised by multiple users. They appreciate the fact that they own the encryption key, ensuring their data's security. Some reviewers have specifically highlighted their confidence in knowing that not even Acronis employees can access their cloud data.

Meets HIPAA Requirements for Data Protection: Several users have noted that Acronis meets all HIPAA requirements for data protection. This makes it a reliable choice for secure backups, giving customers peace of mind knowing their sensitive information is adequately protected.

Slow website and frequent disconnections: Several users have reported that the Acronis website is slow and they frequently experience disconnections, which negatively impact their overall user experience.

Inadequate support team: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the support team at Acronis. They feel that the support provided is not great and it takes a considerable amount of time to get their issues resolved, leading to frustration and delays in problem resolution.

High cost and complexity: Acronis has been described as expensive by some users. Additionally, these users mention that the software can be complicated to use, requiring additional time and effort to navigate its features effectively.

  • Single pane of glass for managing customer tenants
  • Quick and reliable backup recovery
  • Both onsite and offsite backup destinations are supported
  • Integrations with third-party products like ConnectWise Manage and ConnectWise Automate do not function as well as they could
  • Inconsistent endpoint stability with new version releases
  • Constant changes in licensing models are confusing

  • Full image and bare-metal recovery backups for any physical or virtual server.
  • Physical to virtual and other tools built-in to make conversions / recoveries easier and more efficient.
  • Ability to spin up servers on the fly from recovery media.
  • Options to backup on premise as well as offsite to Acronis cloud.
  • No option for on premises hardware BDR. This means recovery restorations rely on self-supplied hardware performance.
  • License per machine can get costly if large number of computers or servers.

  • Quick Virtualization. Acronis can virtualize most systems and get you back up in 15-30 minutes.
  • Encryption of Backups. You own the encryption key, and Acronis doesn't - so not even Acronis employees can get into your cloud data. Encryption meets all HIPAA requirements for data protection.
  • Easy to resell. You can create accounts for individuals outside of the company to allow them access to their backup console. It's very easy to set up, and clients are happy with how easy it is to use.
  • The website is pretty slow and will kick you off sometimes. I know they are working on this. For now, this is the biggest problem we have with Acronis.
  • Their support team isn't great. It can take a while to get an issue resolved, although issues do not happen frequently.

  • The Acronis backup console is easy to use.
  • Acronis offers an online recovery console to access items quickly and easily.
  • The ability to backup and restore Office 365 mailboxes.
  • Creating backup plans and schedules is simple.
  • Email alerts notifying administrators on backup failures.
  • The backup deduplication and compression features is one of industries best.
  • The fact Acronis is an OS client base backup, which leads to more backup failures. Although most issues can be corrected with restarting services.
  • Recovering backups from the cloud(internet) is a lot slower then acessing local backups.
  • The backup error reports are not detailed enough to help administrators fix issues.
