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.

Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

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."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"Slow response from technical support."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"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."
"The solution should increase its security features."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."

"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
