A solution that unites backup and next-generation, AI-based anti-malware, antivirus, and endpoint protection management in one solution
Pros and Cons
- "The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
- "Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
What is our primary use case?
We mainly use Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for backup.
What is most valuable?
The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services. Users find it easy to use without requiring extensive customer support for basic functions. Acronis offers secure data backup with added antivirus protection, making it a reliable choice. It's also notable for its flexibility, offering two models, per workload or per gigabyte, catering to various workstation needs and budget constraints. This unique feature is highly appreciated.
What needs improvement?
Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for more than eight to nine months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability seven out of ten. Acronis tends to generate alarms and alerts that sometimes result in misunderstandings. While I wouldn't call them false alarms, there's a need to address the discrepancies between these notifications. Occasionally, I receive alerts indicating that my backup is full, but upon investigation, the backup is not actually failing. Instead, issues like failed vulnerability assessments or antivirus scans are incorrectly linked to backup failures. This is a significant concern that requires attention.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
Essentially, deploying this is a straightforward process, and just one or two technically proficient individuals are sufficient for the task. It's user-friendly, and various installation methods are available, including deployment via Active Directory on a local server. It's not a complex undertaking and can be managed by a small team. I would rate the initial setup seven out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Acronis is cost effective and I would rate the pricing a two out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Acronis offers its storage and integrates with third-party solutions, providing antivirus and disaster recovery software. In comparison to Rui and other providers, Acronis stands out with a wide range of options. However, there's one issue with Acronis: the occasional downtime of their data centers for maintenance. This is a significant drawback, especially since data is crucial for customers, and the reliance on a single data center in India can lead to routing traffic to external data centers. This aspect should be improved.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the overall solution nine out of ten.

Useful for backup and offers a user-friendly console
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
- "Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company for backup purposes.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly. Cyber Protection Console remains user-friendly for all 365 days. We can train customers to use the tool's console. When errors happen in the tool, the tool provides some articles and steps for troubleshooting. It is a very user-friendly tool. The console can be customized.
What needs improvement?
Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The number of applications is limited for advanced backup. The tool should provide more application-based backup or applications, which will be an advantage when compared to other backup products. Acronis only provides EDR for Windows-branded systems. If the tool can provide EDR for Mac OS, it would be better.
At the moment, Cyber Protect provides various and diverse features. I would like to see XDR in the tool. Now, the product provides EDR with antivirus features. If the tool can provide XDR functionalities, it would be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for a year. My company is a distributor of the tool.

I have experience with ExtremeCloud IQ and MistAI.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase is simple.
The solution is deployed on the cloud model, but sometimes, some customers want an on-premises model as well.
The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours.
What about the implementation team?
The product's initial setup phase was managed through consultation, and my company also provides implementation services to customers. After implementation, the customers monitor the console. My company provides support to customers who use the tool. My customers can call our company or email us about the things they can't troubleshoot. If we can also troubleshoot the incident, we can update the tool's support, after which we can use some support portals from Acronis.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the product falls under a medium range.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is comparable with Rubrik.
What other advice do I have?

Provides instant recovery and ransomware protection
Pros and Cons
- "Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
- "The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
What is most valuable?
Instant recovery and ransomware protection are the strong points. The active protection feature is particularly impressive.
What needs improvement?
The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily.
In the future releases, it would be great to have system protection and vulnerability assessment as additional features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Acronis Backup Cloud for the past five years. We use the latest version.
We mostly use Backup Cloud for backing up our on-premises servers. If a customer requires cloud storage, then we suggest adding additional backups on cloud storage based on the required storage space. Acronis provides its own cloud storage. It's a public cloud.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate it ten out of ten. There are around 10-20 customers who have Acronis Backup Solution. It only requires server load.
How are customer service and support?
When customers renew their support, they will get the necessary assistance. Support is always available. They are helpful and responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Veritas. The previous product was not very layman and required contacting a configuration repair person. Acronis, on the other hand, can be easily accessed and understood by any customer regarding backup policies. It also provides a better understanding of licensing, which was difficult with the previous product. Acronis is a more configurable product, and it offers a single console for managing all devices.
How was the initial setup?
It was really easy. The manageability and access are simple on a daily basis. The installation and implementation take around thirty minutes. However, to properly deploy and set it up, it may take two or more days.
It doesn't require any maintenance. The data is automatically handled.
What about the implementation team?
It's done remotely.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing cost is very high. If any customers submit the renewal during the renewal period, it should be covered by the renewals. It starts from the renewal and not from the recent fees applicable. If customers have issues with their organization and don't want to renew right now, but plan to renew after six months, they may have applicable reinstant charges. However, these reinstitution charges can be wiped off or paid off. There are additional costs attached to the standard license.
I would rate it a six, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Video Review
Provides diverse solutions including multiple replications of backup data
Pros and Cons
- "One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
- "One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup. I do appreciate the way the product is easy to navigate, however, sometimes I have difficulty managing the security permissions on my backups."
What is our primary use case?
As a managed IT services provider, we have a wide array of clients with very diverse backup needs. These clients range from small mom and pop shops to individual users to retailers to Fortune 500 companies. Each of these clients has a vastly different approach when it comes to backups.
What is most valuable?
We chose Acronis as our backup solution because of the diversity in the types of backups it can provide.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used other solutions, such as Norton Backup and Arcserve. Acronis is by far the most cost-effective.
How was the initial setup?
The setup could not be easier. It installs without fail in 100 percent of my setups.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I advise my clients to seriously look at the cloud offering because the hardware to have a good onsite backup is still pricey.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not look at any other products.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest to anyone using this product to take advantage of the support and the advanced features such as replication of their backup set.
