Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries

The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.

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

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."

"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."

"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."

"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

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."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"Technical support is very good."

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

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

"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."

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

More MSP360 Backup pros

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."

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

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

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"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."

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"The reporting can be improved."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"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."

"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing.""

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

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

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"The price is reasonable."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

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

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

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"Its pricing needs improvement."

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

"We have a very good return on investment."

"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."
