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.

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."
"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."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
 

Cons

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"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."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
