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.

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
 

Cons

"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"It is not a cheap product."
"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."
