Featured Reviews

Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"Technical support is great."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"The customer service and support are really good."
"We like the backup functionality."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
 

Cons

"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"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."
"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."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."
"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."
