Sentiment score
7.4

The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect needs UI improvements, better support, enhanced backups, compatibility, and cloud integration to address user concerns.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs enhanced UI, automation, issue logging, and affordability, with desired AI-driven features and streamlined processes.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers reasonable pricing and good value, though complex pricing may challenge evaluators, especially for smaller environments.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides flexible tiered pricing, but cumulative costs and inflexible contracts can be drawbacks for some users.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect provides comprehensive backup, security features, and management tools, ensuring data protection across multiple platforms for businesses.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery offers seamless, reliable, and cost-effective cloud replication, ensuring protection, scalability, and security for critical workloads.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service is a native service, integration is seamless.

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.
Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
