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.

A reliable platform with good encryption process for data security
Setting up iDrive is straightforward and easy. The local software can be installed after setting up everything in the cloud. The deployment process can take a few hours or more depending on the complexity of the structure you want to create. Integrating iDrive into our ecosystem was not complex. I handled the deployment process by myself and did not need much workforce for deployment. Our IT technicians handle all implementations and changes. The maintenance process for iDrive is smooth, but often faces challenges in terms of sensitivity to internet bandwidth variations. If there's a large variation, it might pause the backup process. But in such cases, the notifications keep us updated as it is very swift and reliable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"Technical support is great."
"The encryption process is the most useful part of using iDrive for data security. I also use the background backup feature which helps me to clone and conduct computer backup. These features are very reliable, especially when restoring images from damaged servers. But I don't use the real-time backup feature; I always use the scheduled backup."
"iDrive will keep up to 30 versions of a file."
 

Cons

"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"The disadvantage of using real-time backup in iDrive is that it significantly impacts server performance, causing considerable speed issues. The archiving process needs improvement along with the management of bandwidth and CPU. There should also be more options for creating conditions to manage the workload of the environment, making the system easier to balance."
"I’ve had issues like the scheduler mysteriously erasing my settings. I have to babysit it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
"According to our evaluation done five to seven years ago, iDrive is cheap and it covers a lot of our needs."
