Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery

We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware attacks

Speaking about how the product is deployed in my company's business operations, I would say that it is an appliance with a critical infrastructure. In terms of data protection capabilities, the tool's ability to boot a device and have a separate network has saved the day for many of our company's clients who use the solution. If you have a collection of old servers, and if one of the old servers dies, you could be dead in the water if you cannot locally boot a server. Even the new gears in place can have an issue if people are not spending money on robust hardware tools, and replace them. It is necessary to have the local boot options if and when you have a hardware issue. The product brings the most value in the area of virtual boot when it comes to disaster recovery since it can boot up a version of the server from before an incident, which is helpful and allows your company to have a lower RPO or recovery point objective. It makes a big difference if you can have an RPO in hours rather than in days. The image-based backup functionality has revolutionized and impacted our company recovery time objectives since we deal in hours and not in days. The interface of the product is intuitive. I like the product's functionality that provides the ability to see everything at a glance, along with the alerting feature. Maintenance is required since certain drives die at times. In general, maintenance is required to deal with dead RAMs and hard drives. The former clients with small offices and the old Linux servers that used to die in production used to boot such servers with the help of Datto Cloud Continuity. The aforementioned process allows the clients to continue running their business while buying time to get replacement hardware, making a big difference that helps them reduce potential data loss or downtime. The local boot provided by the product saved the day for many of our company's clients. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Though the tool is not inexpensive, it provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."

"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to; we don't have to have multiple solutions, as it can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure, as well as SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite, so everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"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."

"While using this solution for my customers over the past seven years, data loss and other disasters have been prevented and where ransom attacks have occurred, we were able to restore the data where Acronis was used to back up information."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

"This product gave us two major features: Imaging allowed us to create clones from the production server with ultimate speed, and protection against server failures with the ability to restore on different hardware."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"For local backup, it works well."

"They are laser-focused on bringing forth proven protection technologies and stopping cybercriminals from being able to breach, break, steal, or compromise your data."

"The recovery time objective and recovery point objective were most valuable. It was easy to use, and it was easy to recover a file. I was the head of sales and a product evaluator for an MSSP, so I never had to deal with recovery from ransomware. However, I was confident that if ransomware had occurred, I would only lose a maximum of 59 minutes of data. The files were encrypted."

"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."

"When you compare it to other systems that require a fat client to be installed or to have several VMs setup just to configure the system, Datto stands head and shoulders above."

"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

"The solution has the capability to scale well."

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

More Datto Cloud Continuity pros

Cons

"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."

"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."

"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."

"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."

"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."

"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."

"This solution would not scale well in a large environment."

"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Datto chose to build their own cloud, instead of leveraging AWS, Azure or GCP. It looks, feels and behaves like a beta product (lacks maturity)."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"Right now the appliances have a functional limit of 50 protected servers each."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."

"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."

"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."

"To better integrate compatibility with other operating systems, in addition to Windows Server."

More Datto Cloud Continuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"As the company grew from business continuity—or what used to be called business BCDR—they brought on services. Certain services, such as SaaS protection, were a value-add, but you would expect to pay for them. They are not going to be free. It is just the life that you live when you're evaluating software vendors, partners, etc. There is going to be some form of a base offering, and then there are going to be different tiers that you need to get up to a better level."
