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.

Acronis Backup Cloud has been setup to provide our clients with an offsite private cloud backup solution.
  • Powerful deduplication
  • Fast (incremental) backup jobs
  • Really intuitive
  • Stable
  • To be honest, I can not find any shortfalls with the solution
Acronis Backup Cloud is well suited across the board. The only "restricting factor" is probably only applied in developing countries, such as South Africa, where ADSL internet connections are is still prevalent. These ADSL speeds seldom reach 6Mbps, so depending on incremental data changes, backup jobs may not complete in time for the start of the next working day. Having said that, we do have many clients on ADSL connections that have no problem with jobs completing.
  • As a reseller of the solution, we have seen a great ROI.
  • Clients making use of Acronis Backup Cloud via Gravit8, pay a monthly subscription which allows for the backing up of data and restoring if needed. As a value added, Gravit8 monitor backup jobs and re-run or resolve failed jobs. In the client's eyes, this makes it a critical element of their IT setup.
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 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.

Acronis is a good backup solution that we use in our organization. It's being used across many organizations we handle. It can secure entire systems, cloud, virtual and mobile platforms. It can also do a bare-metal restore should a major crash happen. It also allows you to restore from the cloud in case a major crash happens where your hardware is physically damaged locally.
  • Secures any platform.
  • Works seamlessly with Acronis apps.
  • Off-site storage.
  • Expensive.
  • It can be complicated.
  • You need to have Acronis backup for the cloud part to function.
Acronis is well suited for a larger or more complicated business where downtime is more critical. It's also well suited for a scenario where a client has a harsher work environment where there are changes in physical damage to machines. It's not suited so well to a small business where cost is a major factor. It can be an expensive product.
  • Helped us work with clients to prepare disaster recovery.
  • Increased monthly profits.
  • Some clients have not gone with the program due to price.
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 car insurance.
Support is responsive and good. They offer support in several languages to be able to help many different customers. You can create a ticket or send an email or live chat for support. Their response time is anywhere from 1 hour to a day, but you can get quicker support for an emergency. They also have an online knowledgebase.

It has cut our backup infrastructure costs by half and is more reliable than before.
  • Disaster recovery with offsite backups
  • Management of backup with great reporting
  • ease of use and deployment
  • support needs to be better
  • API integration
  • better re-seller program with higher margins
For remote backup and disaster recovery. SAN backups need improvement, along with Hyper-V intergration.
  • Acronis met our business objectives by simplifying our backup infrastructure
  • Reduced costs of our off site backup infrastructure
  • Reduced staff dedicated to monitoring off site backups
It is cheaper than what other providers offer with a lot more features and it's simple to use.
it's simple to use and very cost effective.
