On the ease-of-use front, Acronis claims that no installation is required for the cloud console, while only three clicks are needed for the on-premise console, compared to 26 clicks for the product's (unnamed) closest competitor.
There are huge speed increases, too. With Acronis Instant Restore, Acronis claims Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) in 15 seconds or less by running any physical or virtual Windows or Linux system backup as a VMware or Hyper-V virtual machine.
