Acronis Cyber Protect Reviews

The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly.

In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me.

Acronis Standard software should improve the backup log report. 

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately two years.

The price is reasonable.

I rate Acronis Backup a seven out of ten.

We are using this product to back up our HDS node, which is part of a six-node cluster.

The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup.

The interface is user-friendly.

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 had installed it on 500 machines, but when our customer started having issues, we uninstalled it. It seems that it is not able to work on the servers.

Our customers were disappointed with this product and discontinued the service.

We have been using Acronis for the past three years.

This is not a stable product because of the antivirus component. There are a lot of issues.

We have not tried scaling but we have almost 800 users.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is complex and it took a month to deploy.

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

I use it to basically backup my laptop and have several copies of it residing in different places. 

It performs awesomely. I have been super thrilled with the results. The GUI is easy to follow.

I have a backup and can restore. I just restored a backup a month ago. It saved me because it had lots of work/business-related documents that I needed. 

• Ease of use
• It works with different types of partitions or different OSs. 
• I have a Mac and a Windows-based computer, and it performs with both equally as well.

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.

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

I am a personal user, so scalability is not really relevant.

I have never had the need for support.

I was previously using the following:

• Symantec, like P.q Magic.
• Ghost, which is another competitor, for partitions and backup.
• Something with Windows, like a basic backup solution and others.

A colleague of mine recommended Acronis Backup. He said, "You should try Acronis." This was when Acronis was not popular or common. Everybody was using the competitors' solutions. I tried it and it worked. 

The initial setup is super easy and super easy to follow; straightforward. That is the benefit of the ease of use with Acronis solutions. 

I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. 

I have tried other solutions, then I saw Acronis, and it did everything. It was an all-in-one solution for OS, Apple iOS, or Windows. Again, it was easy to follow. 

Try all of the solutions in the market. You will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable. It has never failed on me. 

I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. 

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: Good support if I ever need it. Therefore I would know that I have someone to contact, especially when considering this is a backup, thus it is crucial for it work properly.

Full image backup and fast image deployment from USB.

No.

Version 11.7 has problems with the database, some tasks need to be cleared by special scripts. Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product.

Periodically, for the last 15 years.

No.

Not yet.

Fast, responsive, overall good.

As long as Acronis continues to support Win XP, I will use Acronis.

There was some difficulty setting up administrative groups and users, but that was related to the operating system, not the product.

I would advise getting the extended technical support which is independent of the licences.

Veaam. I found its usefulness to be very limited, very dependent on the operating system.

Do backups on a regular basis.

Image based backup, restore Windows based images quickly and on different hardware.

Quickly restore backups with minimum fuss.

GUI for management of backups. Using 11.5 more difficult with keeping on tabs with all backup schedules and status of backups, even when using the management console feature of the software.

16 months.

Yes, combining with Hyper-V host to backup Hyper-V Virtual machines.

Yes performance issues were encountered whilst backups were performed, especially on large file servers.

Due to having previous issues V10 installed, a straightforward upgrade could not be completed. Need to perform an uninstall of previous software first.

3/5.

Yes to perform install on Hyper-V posed a number of challenges, needed to ensure VSS was operating properly was the main one.

In-house.

No, as this has been used always with the organisation.

Evaluate product using their 30 day trial to ensure it meets the needs of backups and restore.

Backing up the whole machine of the workstation.

It has improved the efficiency of work.

Active protection.

The manual is too simple.

• We can connect to the Acronis Cloud
• The console is user-friendly
• You can backup image and files
• The domain controllers are very effective

I have major clients who use this solution: A university, a bank, and one mid-size client. Recently, I needed to recover all of the accounting data on the database. All of their networks were infected with Ransomware. Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK. Part of what helped me optimize the storage space was deduplication, encryption, and compression.

The online support fluctuates between being very fast or very slow.

I have been using this solution for seven years.  

There were no deployment issues when deploying with Microsoft. But it was not as fast when deploying with Oracle.

There were some scalability issues. When using the Oracle database, the transfer rate to SAN with optical fiber channels was very slow. It doesn't matter than we were only backing up files.  

Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them.

I did not use a previous solution.

It is important that you don't only consider the price. Being able to retrieve missing DB or AD data is much more important than the price.

 I have a YouTube channel with many videos that can help you.

It provided us with a fast and reliable way to recover a complex operating system, from one server to another so as to increase the business continuity.

Imaging of the operating system is the most valuable feature. We were performing an in-house upgrade of some critical servers, we wanted a recovery plan to go back to the operating status of the server.

Actually, the version I used is quite old, so at that time it needed a lot of improvements. However, I didn't try the latest version, so I can't have a clear idea about it.

We ran a scenario where we took an image from an operation system and then, we attempted to restore it; it worked perfectly. After a while, we attempted to run the same scenario with the same versions and the same servers, it failed several times, before finally succeeding with the help of their support.

There were no scalability issues.

The technical support is less than average.

Previously, I was using Symantec System Recovery.

The setup was straightforward, i.e., one standalone installation on one server connected to one iSCSI drive to store the image.

Their prices are average.

According to the compatibility matrix of the operating system, we had this product as it was the only available product included with it.

Since the experience was quite an old one, the advice would be outdated as well. :)
