We use Acronis Backup Cloud to back up servers and assorted devices, and we absolutely love it.
When we switched from eFolder, we saved over $1500 per month in our backup, and we received more features than we were getting before. Acronis Backup Cloud lets us virtualize a server from the backup media, which brings up dental practices in less than 15 minutes, as opposed to the many hours needed to do a complete restore.
I was the person who chose Acronis Backup Cloud and negotiated the contract with them. I also provide the backup solution to clients and am one of two people here who implement it for them.,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.,10,ROI has been huge. The cost is incredibly cheap, and we saved $1500/month by switching.
With a heavy impact on profits, we're able to bundle this backup plan into our basic server management plans with no additional cost, which raises the value of our offerings significantly.,eFolder Backup, Carbonite and Mozy Pro,Autotask, SolarWinds N-central, LogMeIn Central,6,6,Disaster Recovery - if a server goes down, you can virtualize from your backup media and be up in about 30 minutes.
Cloud backup with long retention - if you save over a file or an employee accidentally deletes one, you have 6 months to get your old version back.
The encryption on the backup complies with HIPAA and NIST requirements for security, so this product is great for the medical or financial industries.,With the program, you can add scripts to the backup job to run before backup and after backup, so through the software itself we can stop the SQL database prior to backup, and restart it once it's done.
It was helpful to be able to back up a Mac over the network from a Windows Server onto a NAS.,We will eventually look at the file sharing / dropbox style service that ABC provides.
We will continue to use new features as they come out. They update this software quite frequently.,10,Yes,Price
