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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​"
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"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."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
