Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Francisco. I am the owner of the company. My evaluation for Acronis will be four stars. For more reviews, click below. Before Acronis, I was using iCloud, and I switched to Acronis for several reasons. One of them was the possibility to get an antivirus included with the app. Well, the reason why we chose Acronis for our company, there were several of them. One is portability. We normally spend our time between Canada and Spain and Europe, and portability is a paramount thing for us in our backups. And on the other side, Acronis comes with BitDefender, which help us to make checks, and be better protected, and be sure that our information is safe enough in order not to be lost. When we started using Acronis, first thing was, you need to start the app in every computer you're going to use with the app. After that, it's very easy to define all the backups for more than one computer, the whole computer, or only just one folder or several of them, depending on your needs. And normally, you will not need any help from the online or the phone technical service that the company has to help you starting. But it's convenient to talk to them, because you will save a lot of time finding tricks that otherwise, you will have to investigate about. So the good thing is that you can make as many backups as you want from several computers. The only thing is that you have to be careful on how many backups that you are saving on Acronis, unless you want to pay for a subscription including more room. But if you want to get the basic, they offer probably saving more than two or three backups out of two or three computers will be too much for the one terabyte they offer you. Well, if you consider using Acronis, you have to think on several things. One, Acronis is supported by the Geek Squad in Best Buy. So you get the several advantages out of that. Number one, as I said, is easy backups of your devices. Secondly, you have an online support, where online or also on the phone. Third, you have an antivirus. You have BitDefender, which offers you protection and continues checkups of your information. You also get a bunch of tools that can help you make a clone with your computer, or get protections and do any other operation you will need to save your information. As I said, you have to take care of the room you are taking, because if you are taking unnecessary room with very old backups that you don't need, probably you will have to increase how much is costing you to have this tool. On top of that, you have other tools, like you have all large files that you are not normally using, you can take them out of your computers and store in the Acronis cloud, which is a very good thing if you consider in a certain moment, you are running out of room in your devices.
