Common challenges with Acronis

LICENSE BY WORKLOAD
Zmanda pricing

Zmanda's license by workload pricing model lets you drive predictable cost savings from day 1. No data metering means backing up 100GB or 10TB costs the same—saving you 50% compared to Acronis

PER-WORKLOAD & PER-HOST MODEL
Acronis pricing

Acronis uses a complex hybrid licensing model that can lead to unpredictable and high costs. While physical servers are licensed per-workload, virtual environments are licensed per-host. Acronis also offers an alternative 'per-GB' model, but you are forced to choose one model per client.
