Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

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.

Pros

"The tool is user-friendly."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"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 has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."

"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."

"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."

"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 offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"

"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."

"It provides quick backup recovery."

Cons

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."

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

"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."

"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."

"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 keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."

"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."

"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"

"The product is not expensive. It's in the middle. For its capabilities, it's on the affordable side."

"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
