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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The licensing model is very good."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"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."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"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 tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
 

Cons

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"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."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"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."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"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."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"
"It is good value for money."
"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."
