Acronis Cyber Protect Reviews

It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. 

It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption.

They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement.

We have started selling Acronis solutions six or seven months ago. 

It is stable and scalable. We have not had any complaints from the customers.

I am yet to explore it in terms of scalability in the enterprise environment. It is mostly being used in small companies.

I have not yet contacted them.

It is quite simple to deploy. I have my own team for its maintenance. There are four or five qualified engineers.

It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments.

We have recently started to sell Acronis solutions. We have been helping customers to understand what Acronis is all about. We give demos to our customers, and customers are quite happy with the demo and cost of Acronis. Overall, it is a good product. 

I would recommend this solution for smaller environments. It is mostly being used in small companies. Enterprise customers also usually use it for small projects. I haven't explored it for customers with a really big environment. For big enterprise customers, there are other solutions, like Veritas NetBackup, that provide scalability and support for big infrastructures. 

I would rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten. 

Backup is the most important, i.e. backing up my data.

It gives us peace of mind, knowing that my data is safely stored away from my company in case of any disaster.

It works pretty good as it is.

We have never experienced stability issues.

Scalability is impressive, it should take care of us far into the future.

I would give the technical support a 10/10 rating. They were incredible, responded promptly and made sure every issue was resolved before we terminated the call.

We have just used local backups and not cloud backups, in the past.

The setup was fairly straightforward. It's a little bit beyond a casual user, some technical expertise was required, but it went fine.

I did not. This product was recommended to me. I tried it and investigated it. I found that it suited our needs at a reasonable cost.

It depends on what you're going to use it for.

This solution fulfills all of our needs. Its reporting features work flawlessly and it does everything that it's supposed to do once it's setup, without maintenance or any additional time. It just works.

Our organization is the regional seller for Acronis. Our customers are looking to backup part of their infrastructure (virtual servers) and database.

Acronis has a very rich functionality.

I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks.

I have been working with this solution for a little over one year.

it has been very stable over the past year. We have not seen any issues and it is very easy to test backups.

Our customers are impressed with the scalability and richness of the different functions. We have only used twenty to thirty percent of what could be used.

The initial setup was straightforward and had clear, well defined infrastructure virtualization. For our most recent project, we were allotted three months for the setup and were able to complete it in one.

If you are looking for specific functions and/or automatic backup with testing, definitely look into Acronis. 

One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device. 

Another reason we use Acronis is that it allows you to back up a lot of data without losing too much on the time delay during the backup. Also, the amount of data that you can back up for one price is much better than other solutions where the price depends on the amount of the data being backed up.

The speed of the backup solution depends a lot on the speed being deployed on the customer side. For some customers, Acronis is a much better solution.

For some customers, it doesn't just depend on the type of product that you use, but on the infrastructure of the customer as well. Some customers don't have the potential or the infrastructure to support a cloud-based solution as a backup. That's why he had to go to on-premises and use a hybrid solution, which is why using SolarWind for our customers.

So for smaller companies, it's a little more challenging to maintain. But it's hard to say because you could have a very small company, but they have the potential of moving everything using a cloud infrastructure because they have the local infrastructure ready to support that kind of service. But another company may not have the infrastructure to support that kind of service. There are many factors for what kind of services are good for one customer and not good for another one, including the speed of data transfer that the customer can allow. That will determine if you're going to use a backup cloud solution versus a hybrid solution.

Actually, with Acronis, you can back up almost everything that you need to back up, including the engine database. So I don't see what else we could add to that solution for improvement.

When I look from the customer's perspective, everything is there. What could be good is just to have a simple package that could be appropriate for small companies who don't have the requirements for using the cloud solution. Maybe they could just have something a little more on-premises that could allow Acronis to do the customer's backup and then bring it to the cloud. That could be something that Acronis could try because everything now seems to be going to the cloud.

I have been using Acronis Backup for at least eight months.

The stability is nice. It's good. I love it.

I like Acronis Backup's scalability. It is very easy. Acronis gives you a lot of options.

Up to now I didn't have to reach technical support for any kind of problem with Acronis because up to now I never had any problem.

The initial setup is straightforward. You just deploy the program and the setup. Then you just have to specify what you need to backup with the schedule that you want. That's it.

On a scale of one to ten I would give Acronis Backup a nine.

I'm a solutions consultant and we're a customer of Acronis. 

The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick.

We're based in Hong Kong and I think if Acronis could provide local support and some local consultants that would be an improvement. I've just carried out the trial on the solution and actually there is no technical support available for this product. There is also minimal documentation available and if that could be improved it would make a big difference. 

I've been using a trial version of the product for two months. 

It's a stable solution. 

The scalability of the product is fine. It's a cloud product so you just purchase online. For now, I'm the only one in the company using the solution. Once testing is complete that will change.

I'm using the software as a service, so there's no installation.

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We implement Acronis for our clients and we also use it internally. 

It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface. 

It's like there hasn't been any clear thought of linking process to the interface model. It's a very frustrating product but what it does, it does well, which is why even for all of those reasons we still standardize on it as our preferred backup solution. But it drives us mad. 

I'll be completely honest, it's a very annoying product.

The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult.

We have been using Acronis Backup for a few years now. 

It's stable. 

It's scalable. We have around ten to fifteen users. The users are a combination of end-users and admins. 

Their technical support is excellent.

The initial setup is slightly complex because the interface design is poor. So certainly, we've often had to scrap our strategies and go back and redo them. I would say that it's slightly complex to get to what you want.

You have to recognize that you might have to go and do it again once or twice until you get it working exactly the way you want it to work.

I would recommend it, but warn people new to it, to be aware that they might well be a bit frustrated at first.

I would rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten. It's one of those products that probably needs an overhaul because it's kind of evolved over time and sometimes when you evolve things, you end up in a hole. It's probably about time for them to sit back and realize that they've made all this functionality and made all these changes so they should go back. 

Also, managing the product is difficult. As a partner, it's difficult to manage our end-user clients because there's no single dashboard where we can go and see our clients and manage them individually. You have to set up an individual setup for each client, which is a bit frustrating.

I would like to see improvements for people that are probably doing an MSP type of approach, managed service providers so that they had a much simpler way to view their end-user situations.

• We can connect to the Acronis Cloud
• The console is user-friendly
• You can backup image and files
• The domain controllers are very effective

I have major clients who use this solution: A university, a bank, and one mid-size client. Recently, I needed to recover all of the accounting data on the database. All of their networks were infected with Ransomware. Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK. Part of what helped me optimize the storage space was deduplication, encryption, and compression.

The online support fluctuates between being very fast or very slow.

I have been using this solution for seven years.  

There were no deployment issues when deploying with Microsoft. But it was not as fast when deploying with Oracle.

There were some scalability issues. When using the Oracle database, the transfer rate to SAN with optical fiber channels was very slow. It doesn't matter than we were only backing up files.  

Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them.

I did not use a previous solution.

It is important that you don't only consider the price. Being able to retrieve missing DB or AD data is much more important than the price.

 I have a YouTube channel with many videos that can help you.

I can make a complete image of an operating system and its applications, then reduce the time to resolve a trouble, or deploy it again to another Windows system on the same or a different piece of hardware.

The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before. The strongest enhancement for us is that we have sped up our response to our users.

Adding a physical storage appliance would be very good, as would the placement of massive HDD to generate the boot CD. It would nice if it was more accessible and enlarging the option to not have an agent such as on hypervisors, VMware, and others. This would mean we could avoid installing an agent on the virtual machines.

I used the Advanced Server and VMware Server for around two years, and Advanced Workstation for one year.

When we would perform a restore and inject the drivers, sometimes the OS would restart.

The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates. Without these, you may generate poor or incorrect Acronis system.

No issues encountered.

It's very good.

It's very good.

We upgraded from Acronis 7 as we upgraded the systems from Windows 2000 and XP to Windows 7 and Server 2008.

It was straightforward as the the admin control was easy to understand when performing the install.

I performed the install myself.

I have been able to recover all my costs associated with the installation.

• Veritas
• Arcserve

It's not complex but it is necessary that IT or the user has definite idea of what they want from backup system.
