Acronis Cyber Protect vs MSP360 Backup comparison

"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."

"Acronis helps to backup data on a server and also to manage some cloning from 1 PC to another using the method."

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it."

"The pricing is fine."

"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"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."

"The return on investment was great because it saved us many times, it saved our lives many times."

"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."

"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."

"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops."

"They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster."

"The newer version 12 was a little bit hard to set up and get licensed."

"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."

"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."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"We would always support better pricing."

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

"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 other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that."

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

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

"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."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

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

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

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

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

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

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

"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."

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