Overall Satisfaction with Acronis Backup

We are using Acronis to backup a simulator platform.
  • The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly.
  • The program allows for backup of PC and server-class machines, including those running Oracle.
  • The web-based interface is helpful for me to check backup statuses at remote locations.
  • It took some research to know which versions were required for our server-class machines
  • Servers using Oracle need special configuration, which did take some time to understand
  • Procuring Acronis through distributors added another layer of complexity in the purchase process.
  • We haven't had any failures of the system yet, as our installation is fairly new. However, I'm confident the system will pay for itself after the first failure, as the software we are securing via Acronis is quite expensive.
We were able to tailor the Acronis platform to meet our specific number of machines and license types.
We selected Acronis due to our consultant's familiarity with the product, the ability to get a perpetual license, and the flexibility of different PC/server backups managed through a single interface.
Acronis works well in our setting, backing up a small network of machines onto a network hard drives.
