Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Reviews

We use the solution for its backup protection features. It helps us secure backups for Bare Metal, Office 365, and other physical workstations.

The solution provides all the essential cybersecurity features.

It is challenging to manage workstation backup using ACI platform. They should improve this particular area. Along with this, its mailbox migration feature needs improvement as well. It is difficult to move the data from one application to another. It could be more user-friendly.

We have been using the solution for four years.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as a nine.

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability as a nine.

The solution's customer service is excellent.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. I rate the process as a nine.

The solution is moderately priced.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as a ten. It is the best product in terms of backup features.

We are using this product to store data and as our software backup. Acronis Cyber Protect is used whenever you want to back up your data and for disaster recovery.

One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis. If you see all the other software in the marketplace, they are just backup solutions. But this product also offers security. With a single product, you get two benefits. It's also easy to deploy and easy to use, and they also provide continuous training.

I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing. Technically there is no other criticism from my side.

We have been using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for the last eight months.

They have local support, which is good. 

We have used other on-premise solutions for backup, but for the cloud, we selected Acronis because of security.

If you see the solution, using the renewals and everything, one can easily deploy it, depending on the requirement. For a backup related to the app, if you need a little bit of help from an expert, Acronis can help. But for us, it's easy to manage. Once deployed, you will never need to consider anything.

We implemented this solution ourselves. It took us about an hour to deploy this solution.

We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly.

Whoever wants to backup their data should also lookout for a solution that provides data security. This is very important nowadays with issues like ransomware, privacy, and security. Also, the backup should be easily accessible whenever we need it. They should select a product that does it all, and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides all these benefits in a single solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud a nine.

I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems.

In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

I have found that the solution is not as stable as it could be. When there are some errors it is difficult to know what took place to resolve them.

The solution is scalable.

The technical support is very good for this solution.

I have used Veeam solutions in the past and this solution has some unique features setting it apart.

The initial setup was very straightforward. I think you have to create a well-thought-out plan moving forward. You can run some tests that will show you your protection score. You will be able to see how much your machine is vulnerable to the outside environment.

I rate Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud a seven out of ten.

In general, the solution is primarily used to externalize backups. Most customers don't want to take an active part in the maintenance or verifying of everything daily, so they revert the backup process to us and we use the solution to ensure it's happening regularly and properly.

The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature. 

With the previous version, it was possible when having a cloud solution, to back up the data on-premises. Now it is no longer possible, and I don't really know why. When we have the cloud subscription we have to pay to have on-premises capabilities. That is not really ideal for customers.

To make the solution better, the pricing should be a big consideration. When I'm talking about pricing, I'm addressing specifically the African market. Most of the time pricing causes our customers to back away.

Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly.

We have some bugs, but the solution is stable. Even if the support part of the solution is a weak point because I find that the support is not really reactive. We had some bugs, but on average, it is stable.

The solution is scalable but the pricing model is not good for my point of view. If we integrate the pricing part with the scalability capabilities, it is not really great for us. We are trying to figure out if this problem is due to the partner we are working with or something else.

Technical support isn't great. Out of five, I'd rate them at two.

Most of the time when we contact technical support, they take a long time to respond and give us an answer. Time is money. We cannot afford to wait so long when there's a problem. When there's a problem with backup, it means that we are at risk, and we need to sort it out rapidly. 

We previously used Veeam Cloud Connect. We still use it for some customers. The customer decides which solutions they choose to use and we, as integrators, implement it for them.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy.

The amount of time deployment takes depends on how the architecture was designed previously. It depends on the studies, etc., which are supposed to be taken into consideration before the implementation. If everything has been sized and studied well, implementation, depending on the size of the existing infrastructure, could take from a few hours to many days. In summary, it really depends on the size of the company, the workload which should be taken into consideration, and how the study has been put in place before starting the implementation.

You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.

We handled the implementation ourselves.

The pricing depends on the customer. Most of the time, the first year is prepaid. After that year, some customers choose to switch to monthly billing, while others continue to pay yearly. There are extra costs as well, for example, for technical support.

I've been using the solution for two years. We're an integrator and we deploy the solution for our customers who typically use the cloud deployment model.

It would not be the first solution I would direct a customer to, but this solution has many impressing features.

In our market, technically the solution is good, but we also have to look at the ecosystem, the pricing policy, and such things. I would tell customers to watch out, to pay attention to the pricing model and prepare for it in their budget before moving to this solution. If this fits the customer's budget, they can go ahead. Technically, the solution will fit their needs. However, the way the solution prices on-premises versus cloud deployment models, if a customer wants both, they really need to pay attention to how the pricing will be calculated.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. Technically, the product is good, but the pricing and technical support are not ideal.

We use this solution primarily for the backup of information. An example would be to assist our clients who are moving from a public cloud to a private cloud. We would use Acronis for the backup up of information during this migration. 

The first valuable feature is the incremental backups which ensure that your information and products are always up to date. 

Secondly, there are many knowledge base articles that are detailed and make it is easy to troubleshoot when issues arise. 

Lastly, we have collaborated with the support team for more complex issues which can't be fixed by our team. In two to three weeks, they have helped us resolve these issues.

There are some compatibility issues that could be improved. For example, all versions before Linux SUSE 10 cannot always be backed up. However, I have only encountered this issue one to three percent of the time as many issues have already been addressed by Acronis. 

My current organization has used this solution for three years and I have worked with it for the past six years. 

I would rate Acronis 99% for stability. The remaining 1% is to account for end user issues such as those relating to hardware, although this is a rare occurrence. 

This is a scalable solution that can support complex environments. We currently use it for more than 400 clients across different countries. 

The support team are quick and responsive.

Positive

The on-premises setup is a bit complex. There is a hardware setup that requires an engineer. Certain skill sets are needed to maintain the solution and make it work. 

The setup was simple for a cloud system. If it is done by a technical person, installation could take one to two hours. 

Licensing and costs depend on the storage sizes required for the data to be backed up. 

I would recommend taking note of the storage you are paying for when backing up data and ensuring you reduce it as much as possible. 

It is important to monitor the backup process on a daily basis using Acronis alerts. I would suggest having a technician look after this solution to ensure no backfires take place. 

This is a fast product that fits into existing technology easily without causing friction.  

It’s easy. We are resellers for small and medium businesses in this market segment, so we appreciate this feature.

Provides automatic backup operations for middle sized servers and desktops.

User interface Improvements: I think this needs to be done in the navigation path into the UIs, mainly for the reseller interfaces. Some useful options initially seem “hidden”, but instead they really exist. After the initial disorientation, however, the use is easier.

We have used this for two years.

In terms of stability, the agents probably need to be improved

There were no scalability issues.

I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

Because my company is under a re-seller agreement, we switched to this product. We evaluated other products, but for our target segment market, we chose Acronis.

The initial setup very straightforward, but the integration with our cloud automation engine was a little bit complex.

We mostly use Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for a backup solution.

We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use.

The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance.

I have been using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for approximately one year.

The solution is stable and reliable.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud can scale well.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud technical support is good.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is straightforward to implement.

I rate Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is software backup and data storage. 

One of the benefits of using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is that, along with backing up data, it secures it. You get two great things with a single product.

It is also easy to use and deploy.

Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing. 

I have been using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for six to eight months. 

They have local tech support, which is good.

You may need a little bit of help with some aspects of the installation process. However, once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy.
