Acronis Cyber Protect Reviews

We use this solution to backup some core, critical systems in our primary data center.

The most valuable feature is its consistency. It is an established product.

I feel like this product a little bit locked in the past.

This is not a feature-rich solution.

I would like to see a more SaaS-based solution, perhaps more cloud-centric. Essentially, keeping in lock-step with the other companies out there doing platform (PaaS) or software (SaaS) as a service, solutions.

We would like a more cutting edge, cloud-based DR solution that uses, for example, compression algorithms to make sure that backups run faster.

It is a stable product.

I have never had scalability problems with it.

I have not directly spoken with technical support.

We leverage all of our operations through what used to be Dell Services but is now known as NTT Data.

Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis.

We did an evaluation of many different solutions, primarily because we were moving from more on-premise to cloud-based solutions. So, as a result of going to the cloud, we looked at the Best of Breed in the cloud space.

Ultimately, we implemented two solutions. We use a Veeam cloud backup appliance solution and a leveraged TSM environment for our core operations provider. It was decided based on cost flexibility and technology richness.

Because this solution is not feature-rich, we have looked at other solutions.

My advice for somebody who wants to implement this solution is to make sure that they understand the requirements. This includes the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and the RPO (Recovery Point Objective). Based on the requirements, find the solution that is going to fit best for what they really want to invest in.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Backing up the whole machine of the workstation.

It has improved the efficiency of work.

Active protection.

The manual is too simple.

I am using it for testing, to investigate the program.

For me, the valuable feature is that they are looking forward at some cloud integrations and to bring in some of their solutions for Azure and other clouds. It's possible to use the solution not only on-premise but also in some cloud environments that have been growing lately.

They also have a very big knowledge base and support. If you don't know something or something goes wrong, you can always find yourself a solution or contact help and receive good consultation.

They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster.

I am satisfied with the stability.

Scalability is good.

I have been satisfied with technical support.

The setup was average, not very hard but also not a one-click installation.

it's better to search for a solution from among the top vendors. Acronis is one of them. In any environment you need a backup solution and protection for disaster recovery. You need to use a solution to back up your servers and Active Directory, etc. Acronis is quite a good solution for that.

The most important criteria when selecting a vendor are the vendor's reputation and the quality of the solution.

I use it for server backups and workstation backups and it performs pretty well.

It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups.

The ability to clone backups, to have backups replicated.

Better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice.

It's stable.

I use it for very small workstations to launch servers, so the scalability is good.

We chose Acronis because it had better non-cloud backup features.

The setup was very straightforward, it was easy. There weren't any complications to it.

My most important criterion when selecting a vendor is the usual: pricing.

I rate this solution at eight out of 10. I don't think any backup solution is perfect, so I think eight is a fair rating for it.

Make sure you are looking for objectives for your backup. There are less expensive solutions out there. You really have to weigh what your backup objectives are in the first place.

Our primary use case for Acronis Backup software is to back up our VMware environment. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this an 8. With our VMware environment it's very tricky to get everything backed up just like you need it. With Acronis software it was very easy to set up, the reliability has been wonderful. On a daily basis I know that the incremental backups are running properly. On the weekends the full backups are running efficiently. Any time I've had to contact support, whether it be a phone call or online chat, it's been very easy to get a hold of someone, and they work with you continually until you resolve whatever issue it is that you're having, and you feel comfortable with the resolution.

I would say my favorite feature with Acronis Backup software is creating one job that will backup all of our VM servers. We have about 50 servers and we need to get all of them backed up, and it keeps you from having 50 different backup jobs listed, backup tasks. You create one, and you go in, and you select all of the VMs that you want, or the ones that you don't want, you just leave them unchecked. Then, anytime you add in a new VM server to your environment it's very easy to just go in and add to that new server to the backup job that you already have, you don't have to create anything new, you just add it in, and you're good to go.

I don't see very many opportunities for improvement with this product. On a daily basis it's really easy to use and manage. There are some frustrating things. One in particular is when you're looking through your logs from the previous night's jobs and you see a warning, and you go in, and you try to dig through to find what exactly the warning meant, and you can't find anything. Everything is green, there's no yellow, there's no red, and you have no idea. That can be a little bit frustrating. Other than that, it works really well. 

I use it to basically backup my laptop and have several copies of it residing in different places. 

It performs awesomely. I have been super thrilled with the results. The GUI is easy to follow.

I have a backup and can restore. I just restored a backup a month ago. It saved me because it had lots of work/business-related documents that I needed. 

• Ease of use
• It works with different types of partitions or different OSs. 
• I have a Mac and a Windows-based computer, and it performs with both equally as well.

I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.

Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc.

I am a personal user, so scalability is not really relevant.

I have never had the need for support.

I was previously using the following:

• Symantec, like P.q Magic.
• Ghost, which is another competitor, for partitions and backup.
• Something with Windows, like a basic backup solution and others.

A colleague of mine recommended Acronis Backup. He said, "You should try Acronis." This was when Acronis was not popular or common. Everybody was using the competitors' solutions. I tried it and it worked. 

The initial setup is super easy and super easy to follow; straightforward. That is the benefit of the ease of use with Acronis solutions. 

I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. 

I have tried other solutions, then I saw Acronis, and it did everything. It was an all-in-one solution for OS, Apple iOS, or Windows. Again, it was easy to follow. 

Try all of the solutions in the market. You will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable. It has never failed on me. 

I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. 

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: Good support if I ever need it. Therefore I would know that I have someone to contact, especially when considering this is a backup, thus it is crucial for it work properly.

I have used it on a virtual server, as a backup server.

I do not worry that the backups are not running, or panic when a storm is coming through. It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.

It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms. The user interface (UI) is easy to use. We have a large virtualization infrastructure. Image backup is very important to us.

It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc. Veeam backup is integrated with many storage producers, but Acronis does not integrate that much.

No issues.

Not yet.

I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10.

Previously, I have used many different solutions. Now, I am using Veeam and Acronis.

The setup is straightforward.

We evaluated the VMware backup solution, Acronis, Symantec, and Veeam. However, we are now using both Acronis and Veeam.

I would advise this product for the use of backup systems.
