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

"The disaster recovery feature."

"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"

"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 main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."

"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."

"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."

"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."

"From a security standpoint, it provides robust protection to prevent system crashes and data loss."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."

"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."

"The product offers good stability."

"It is very simple to set up."

"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."

"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."

"The pricing is reasonable."

Cons

"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."

"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."

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

"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."

"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."

"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."

"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."

"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

"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."

"The solution needs to improve its speed."

"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."

"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."

"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."

"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."

"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."

"The customer service and support response time can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not a cheap product."

"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."

"The solution is moderately priced."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."

"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."

"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."

"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."

"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."

"The pricing is expensive."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."

"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."

"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."

"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
