Partner Account Manager at Interworks S.A.

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.

Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."

"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."

"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."

"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."

"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."

"There is unified storage, which provides flexibility. It is set up perfectly for performance and provisioning. We are able to monitor everything using a separate application. It provides error and critical warnings that allow us to take immediate action through ONTAP. We are able to manage everything, log a case, and follow up with the support team, who can fix it. That is how it is unified."

"In terms of administration, the portal which provides the dashboard view is an excellent tool for operations. It gives you volume divisions, usage rates, which division is using how much data, and more. The operations portal is fantastic for the support team."

"ONTAP has been very stable for us, specifically in the cloud environment. It allows us to have high availability as well as standalone systems if that's what we want within our specific workloads. Also, on-premise has been a very stable environment. We have very few outages and when we do, we work with support to get systems back online in a timely manner."

"Multiprotocol is the most valuable because Amazon was not able to provide us with access to the same data from Linux and from Windows clients. That was our value proposition for CVO, Cloud Volumes ONTAP."

"This solution has made everything easier to do."

"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."

"NetApp's Integration with AWS has helped us because we had a tough time transferring data when we used an ONTAP competitor as our storage partner. They don't have integration with AWS tools, so we had to figure it out on our own. ONTAP has built-in integration and allows us to replicate a copy to our second data center."

Cons

"Slow response from technical support."

"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."

"The technical support could be improved. When you create a ticket, the responsiveness you'd expect is lacking."

"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The solution should increase its security features."

"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."

"There is more room for improvement in the training."

"It would be better if the price of the solution was improved for medium-sized businesses. Moreover, the email security should be improved. We are awaiting new updates on the product."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud cons

"NetApp CVO needs to have more exposure and mature further before it will have greater acceptance."

"Their support and development teams can collaborate better to resolve an issue."

"When it comes to a critical or a read-write-intensive application, it doesn't provide the performance that some applications require, especially for SAP. The SAP HANA database has a write-latency of less than 2 milliseconds and the CVO solution does not fit there. It could be used for other databases, where the requirements are not so demanding, especially when it comes to write-latency."

"The solution could be better when we're connecting to our S3 side of the house. Right now, it doesn't see it, and I'm not sure why."

"I would like NetApp to come up with an easier setup for the solution."

"The encryption and deduplication features still have a lot of room for improvement."

"I would like some more performance matrices to know what it is doing. It has some matrices inherent to the Cloud Volumes ONTAP. But inside Cloud Manager, it would also be nice to see. You can have a little Snapshot, then drill down if you go a little deeper."

"There is room for improvement in tier one support, especially with potential language barriers and communication challenges."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."

"It is good value for money."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."

"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."

"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."

"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good."

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I know the licensing is a bit on the high-end. That's when we had to downsize our MetroCluster disks and just migrate to disks that were half used. We migrated into those just to reduce maintenance costs."

"The cost is quite high."

"Make sure you investigate what your requirements are going to cost you using the native cloud solutions versus what NetApp is going to cost you, to make sure you have a business case to go with NetApp."

"The pricing could be improved. It is a good product, but it is very expensive for me."

"Compared to other storage vendors, NetApp, is not always able to compete with their pricing. Yet, we acknowledge the ease of use ONTAP brings with the AWS integration."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"For NetApp it's about $20,000 for a single node and $30,000 for the HA."

"The AWS consumer-based pricing model makes it easy for developers to use their credit cards to spin up virtual servers immediately."
