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.

Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We like the backup functionality."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"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."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"The agent stability needs improvement."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The speed could be better."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
