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.

Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
We are using Barracuda for our online office backup. It's for the backup of mailboxes and team SharePoint sites that we have with Azure and Office 365 I don't have any specific features I love. Overall, it's a good product, and I've been happy with its capabilities.  The initial setup is pretty…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"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."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
More Acronis Cyber Protect pros
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
 

Cons

"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
More Acronis Cyber Protect cons
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"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."
