Acronis Backup and Recovery Review

PROS: I love that I can clone an internal hard drive, to a new, such as faster and or more memory, internal hard drive mounted temporarily in an external enclosure. The interface is attractive, modern and much cleaner than it used to be with previous versions of this solution. Acronis performance makes it the fastest software on the planet. Syncing files is also quite fast and allows you to test restore points to see if the files are in good shape. It has comprehensive backup capabilities and options. Also, I love the fact that I can use Acronis in both platforms, either web application, and computer software as well.

CONS: I don't like that Acronis is very expensive and it has a complicated pricing structure that depends on how many licenses are you expecting to purchase. Acronis doesn't offer an external or network-attached storage backup because it is only orientated to online storage and offline syncing.

PROS: Werry intuitive and Web based Management from almost anywhere if you use on-premise Management, when on Cloud, then even better. Werry fast with restore, special when you use integrated "instant Restore" feature. Great deduplication ratio,... and many more.

CONS: I can't think of any

PROS: I’ve been using Acronis for years, and what I like most is the imaging products. The UI is intuitive and easy to set up, you won’t have any kind of problems if you are familiar with their product line already. When I capture an image I go back to read it by trying to restore few files. Every time I try to do this it works perfectly. To be honest, I don’t use this program on a daily basis, I’m using it as recovery routine. I believe that if I implement Acronis and back up workstations in some environment it will work.

CONS: I don’t like that I cannot create bootable recovery media. I really need this option because this one creates great when you follow the instructions on how to do it. I have spent lot of time with its support team for couple of procedures to get some bootable image working within 2014 version, but in the latest one 2016 version I cannot boot images. And that’s why I don’t give high points for this product.

PROS: With Acronis, we are confident that our files are in good hands because of its safe backup and recovery processes and we are also sure that they will keep our files secure.

CONS: The functions of the software is wonderful though the design of the interface is a bit hard to swallow.

PROS: One of the best backup solution that offers wonderful and complete set of features for whole enterprise solution. An ability to restore images to different hardware, virtual machines and many other options that saves lot of time. This is great tool for engineers and many other who spend great amount of time for configuring IT environment.

CONS: When I have used this tool 5 years ago I had some problems with restoring to a VM and with universal restore, I didn’t have any success. Then I have tried other solution but in the end I started using it again. I have to say that the company and the platform have grown up. I believe that they have fixed the issues.

PROS: Thanks to Acronis our IT department can have optimal control over the backups and data location. We are able to use cloud storage and to have various options for data recovery. This system allows us to recover raw files and formatted data like databases and even off-line email storage. It supports multiple platforms and devices like tablets, iPads, iPhone and Android devices. I like that there is ability to back up VMware Microsoft Hyper-V hosts.

CONS: We have some difficulties when it comes to their tech support, we often let them into our system in order to help us. It would be great if they could work on the background noise. In the beginning we had some issues when doing the initial restores.

PROS: Acronis has the ability to virtually boot from your backup media, which saves you from a lot of downtime if your server fails. The cloud storage is also pretty cheap when comparing to other services. We moved our clients from a different solution to Acronis, and saved a lot of money while increasing value, in being able to virtualize servers from the actual backup media.

CONS: The cloud interface and dashboard are very slow sometimes, and will kick you off in the middle of doing something from time to time. It takes patience to set up. However, it performs very well when you do set it up. Reporting is also not very full featured and are difficult to dig through, so we rely on alerts instead.

PROS: We are using CD/DVD version, the platform is fast and it allows us to backup 500GB hard drive within 30 minutes and to restore it in less than hour. It works every time. It allows us to backup and restore from local USB drive or a network share. I like that it can be used on Linux as well. Its UI is user-friendly, and simple to backup and restore the complete system.

CONS: When we started using this program it didn’t work on a USB stick instead we have to use CD/DVD drive. Also, I don’t like that whenever some failure occurs then the system reboots and without any information about what happened.

PROS: I travel often so it is important for me to be able to access my files whenever I need to. Acronis is the answer to that challenge. It backs up my data to the cloud and lets me use them whenever and wherever. Plus, its capabilities are top-notch.

CONS: I do not have any complaints about Acronis because it works well even when it is dealing with a large volume of data.

PROS: Our company is glad we settled for Acronis because of its excellent function. It backs up our data automatically so that we do not have to worry about doing it manually regularly or worry about losing information if we forget to do so. Because of it, we are confident that we can continue where we left off before a system failure or other kind of incident because of Acronis' recovery capability. I also enjoy that I can recover select information from the backup files so that I can perform my work at home or on the move without opening myself to cyberthreats.

CONS: I have no negative comment about Acronis because it has been spectacular since the day we implemented it. I find it absolutely beneficial because of the file security it offers.

PROS: Acronis is great solution for saving Pc data and to have copy of it. It has simple interface and with only few steps you can easily manage to create full backup of your system. There are lot of things I like about Acronis such as: easy and simple installation, the backup can be easily managed, we are able to create clone disk, the process of restoring the backup is fast and easy, it works on many platforms like Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

CONS: Before learning the process of restoring an image of your OS can be tricky, but once you learn it, it can be easy.

PROS: Acronis is easy to use and it has great software interface. You are able to backup your whole system within 1 image file and to restore it on any hardware you like. It has universal restore process. You are able to schedule every type of backup jobs whether they are incremental or full. It even offers license for backup that is called Virtual Machines.

PROS: Acronis includes lot of options for back-ups like Fulls, synthetic fulls, grandfather-father-son, and many others. It has encryption of backups. It offers cloud availability for offsite backups. There is de-duplication for both locally and transmission within the cloud. We are able to backup and replicate without extra bandwidth. It allows us to set notifications that requite SMTP account info instead of using outlook for sending notifications and emails.

CONS: It requires different programs for installing, this is not a big deal if you have one central server but the backup process from single pc, onsite and then to replicate them can take much time. When it comes to updates they require updating several programs simultaneously. Sometimes the updates means to start new backup.

PROS: I like its simplicity when it comes to backups and restoring. The backups are ready for all virtual machines. It allows us to select the type of backup and even the days and hours. It allows us to perform multiple backups at the same time, and to back up many types of operating system. We are able to put everything in one place. This is great tool for recovering information and to take backup to virtual machine.

CONS: In my opinion they could make the user interface more intuitive so it can be more helpful in tracking failures in backups or to track logs.

PROS: I have to say that Acronis is great product, it does something that other programs can’t. The program is stable, flexible, easy to set up and friendly interface. It provides great hardware backups options and I love that when I recover the program can be adapt to the hardware I have installed.

CONS: Its support team can be slow when answering questions. The upgrading process is not intuitive and it fails from time to time on some remote machines. It requires some activity. The price is high than we expected.

PROS: What I like most about Acronics is the ability to clone the whole drive and to restore it. I’m well-informed about what’s going on with my drives within my system and to set up scheduled backups. It doesn’t have any kind of issues when switching between drives and when passing between drive to drive. It allows me to swap from disk hard drive to SSD and when I have drive failure to go back to SSd.

CONS: What I don’t like is that this system needs to boot outside of Window and it lacks UI design. It is not streamlined to other windows platform. It would be great if there is an option to compress large files.

PROS: Acronis is great software for data recovery that can be used by everyone who needs protection for their virtual and cloud environments. Great tool for data recovery and data protection. They have improved the software and they have added catalog data search, disaster recovery plan and they have made it like cross-platform. Updates are easy to download and they are very flexible. Created image from saved directory is compatible to recover and read.

CONS: What I don’t like is the time it takes for the installation and it consumes RAM. Also the study manuals are not as intuitive as they should be.

PROS: Acronis offers full set of features. It is simple to use, the interface has great design and it is well-documented. We are able to take complete disk images with it and to keep all the configurations, files and customizations in the safe place. To running the program doesn’t require tech skills or to be IT expert to backup and restore images. It allows you to restore whole system to different hardware without any problems with Acronis.
