Featured Reviews

Stuart Grigor - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
 

Cons

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"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."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"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 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."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"Slow response from technical support."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
