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.

Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"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 most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
 

Cons

"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."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"We would always support better pricing."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The speed could be better."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
