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

"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
"The product’s pricing is expensive."
