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.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."

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

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."

"Technical support is very good."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

Cons

"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."

"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

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

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"It is a low-cost solution."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
