Overall Satisfaction with Acronis Cloud Backup
Our organization uses Acronis Cloud backup across our whole environment. We use Acronis to backup virtual servers hosted on VMware Vcloud and Office 365 mailboxes. The advantage of Acronis cloud services is accessing our backups anywhere and having the ability to restore or download backup items from the online console.
- 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.
- It's been a great investment especially knowing our data is protected.
- We no longer worry about upgrade storage hardware or devices.
- Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance, Symantec Backup Exec, Barracuda Backup and Veeam Backup & Replication
I believe Acronis has the easiest interface to control backups and restores. The backup solution that didn't work the best for us was Symantec Backup. The other backup solutions (Unitrends, Barracuda,and Veeam) have similar backup features as Acronis and are recommended. Uniterends backup is more advanced and can be complicated not for organizations without IT staff.
