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.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"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 product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"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 most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
 

Cons

"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"The agent stability needs improvement."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"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 backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Technical support can be improved."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"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."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"It is good value for money."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
