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

"From a security standpoint, it provides robust protection to prevent system crashes and data loss."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"The solution should increase its security features."
"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 could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"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."
"It is good value for money."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
