Acronis Cyber Protect Reviews

We use the solution to take backups of applications and files.

The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers.

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

I have been working with the solution for eight years. I use the tool’s latest cloud version.

I would rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. The solution is stable. I haven’t faced any stability issues.

I would rate the tool an eight out of ten. Acronis is an agent-based solution and it is scalable. We have around 50 customers.

The tool’s support is quite difficult. Support is mainly available only through the mail. The toll-free numbers are not available.

The tool’s initial setup is straightforward. The overall deployment takes one week to complete but the software can be installed within a day. You need to install the management console and then pick up the agent. We can take the backup post these processes.

The deployment was done in-house.

We have seen ROI with the use of the solution.

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

I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. Acronis is a cost-effective solution compared to other vendors. I haven’t faced any issues with the tool’s performance. The solution’s support was different before. Now, the support is changed. The solution needs only one engineer to manage the deployment and maintenance processes.

We primarily use this solution for data recovery and backing up complete data centers like image backup and data file servers. We deploy the solution on cloud and on-premises.

When a customer gets any fibre or ransom issues or when their data gets blocked, and we have taken that backup, we can restore the data for customers without losing it.

We usually have images, backup and ransom protection in the solution, and there is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory. We can have a vulnerability assessment of the systems.

We want an application deployment process similar to that in Microsoft SPM, system center, where we can deploy OS. With Microsoft SPM, we can deploy specific applications through the console, a feature missing in Acronis Backup that should be included to improve the solution. Additionally, the reporting can be improved.

We have been using the solution for approximately seven years and are a platinum partner for Acronis globally.

The solution is stable, and we have not had any issues where we cannot restore customer data in over 20 years.

The solution is scalable and can be deployed on over 1,000 servers.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It involves installing the agent, which gets connected to the cloud system. Then, the backup can begin within a few minutes.

The ROI depends on the customers and their investments. The backup solution and anything concerning ROI cannot decline. Still, whenever the customer has issues where the data gets corrupted, it becomes a valuable product because we can restore the data. Most industry people or IT heads do not invest much because they think there is good security and infrastructure, but you never know when you will be compromised because there are thousands of hackers targeting a company. Hence, the solution has ROI.

The licensing is higher than the market, and the other products sold are slightly higher than the others. When people need stable environments, they can keep the data looking at all the assets. More customers pay for it, and we have sold the product for the last seven years and started with a $100 commitment and currently have a $10,000 commitment a month.

The solution has a standard license and standard backups, and they have advanced backups for Oracle or ICP databases. They also have additional products like advanced management, advanced security and email security.

I rate the solution as eight out of ten. Customers choose this solution because Acronis is the only vendor and OEM that provides management and cloud storage in their data centers. It also supports Google Cloud, Microsoft cloud and AWS Cloud and has hybrid support.

We use this solution to back up our emails. It is compatible with Office and Microsoft 365. There are two models and it can be used per workload or per workstation, which gives you roughly 50 gigs of backup per work station. 

You can basically decide what you want to back up, at what time and whether you want it done on desktops or laptops. Once you make this decision, you then pay per gig. 

We have distributors that we buy Acronis through. For cloud backup, hybrid and on-prem, this is a good solution.

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. 

There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned.

Your backups are always limited to the amounts of bandwidth that you've got available. The bigger the bandwidth you've got, the smoother the solution works. You get to set the frequency and the times to run your backup. You can run your backups either daily, weekly, monthly or on an adhoc basis. 

This solution is exceptionally scalable. If you're a customer and you're using 800 gigs at the moment, we will allocate a slot for one terabyte for you. We'll give you a 20% cushion and you'll pay only for what you use. 

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed in 30 minutes. Some of the smaller businesses we work with, want us to run this for them while other manage this process themselves. 

This is a plug and play solution so you don't need a lot of people for maintenance once you have set up the permissions. When maintenance or attention is needed, you will receive alerts. 

We pay approximately eight Euro cents a gig. We are platinum partners so we get some very good rates and we pass that on. The eight cents includes our profit. There are no other additional costs, unless you want to include DR.

We briefly considered Veeam, Metallic IO and Redstor. As a backup solution, Acronis is great. 

If you are the IT manager, you can do a lot with this solution without needing to complete heavy maintenance or heavy labor intensive programs. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We were using Acronis Backup for Windows Servers, such as Windows 2003 and 2008 operating systems. We had old Windows systems and we were using Acronis Backup.

Acronis Backup is easy to use.

When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking.

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately seven years.

Acronis Backup is not scalable.

We have 10 people in my organization that use the solution.

We are a large company, we are the Steel Authority of India Limited. We span across all of India. We are the biggest steel manufacturers in the country, we have more than 60,000, people working in the company. Generally, I am using Veeam, but there may be other parts of the organization still using Acronis Backup.

The technical support of Acronis Backup is not very responsive in support. We needed it a few times, but it was not very readily available.

We were using Windows backup before Acronis Backup. I use currently using Veeeam backup.

The initial setup is very simple. The full deployment process took half an hour.

We did the implementation ourselves. We have a team of ten that can do the maintenance of the solution.

The return on investment was great because it saved us many times, it saved our lives many times. We lost a machine and we could recover it using Acronis Backup. The return of investment measurement is great.

We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup.

I evaluated Cohesity.

We started using this solution because it was recommended by a German company called Siemens.

We no longer use Acronis Backup but we wanted to at that time continue with it. However, Acronis did not want to listen to us to enable us more possibilities for us to consider them. Their response was very cold. We looked into other companies, such as Veeam and Cohesity and we went with Veeam.

I rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten.

I use it to back up my home laboratory. I use it to back up my demo lab and secure my data.

For me, the cost is a significant advantage.

Acronis Cyber Protect should support immutability storage and user support for immutability and Air Gap. These features would be beneficial. 

I have been using this solution for four years or more. 

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

I fix the problems by myself.

The initial setup was straightforward for me. I'm technical, so it was easy. It took about an hour to protect my servers and registration service.

For maintenance, I'm the only administrator, so just me.

The solution offers a classic price, and I'm okay with it.

I've worked with various products, such as Networker, NetBackup, and others.

I use them all simultaneously.

I would recommend Acronis to other users. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement. 

My initial experience with Acronis was to backup my email server's contents. This happened in 2008 when my email suddenly went down, but to my surprise, the backup didn't include the email server. However, after restoring everything, I gained confidence in the software and began using it to backup my DC servers.

Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back.

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

The cloud faces a danger concerning data integrity. Briefly, the threat is to attack the integrity of data stored in the cloud. A hybrid solution that combines cloud storage with local storage on your DC server and provides a secure perimeter to protect data without alterations would be ideal. It's crucial that this solution also synchronizes with the cloud to prevent data from being distorted or stolen.

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately 10 years.

The solution is reliable and stable.

The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive.

I rate Acronis Backup a ten out of ten.

We are using Acronis Backup for backups of our data. For example, backups of Office 365 and other data.

Acronis Backup can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise.

The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details.

Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier.

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately one year.

I have eight customers using Acronis Backup and each has approximately 3,000 employees.

The support from Acronis Backup can improve because when I have an issue it sometimes takes them five days to have a solution.

There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup.

I rate Acronis Backup a seven out of ten.

I've been using Acronis Backup for backups primarily.

It's a good solution for backing up items.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution is stable and reliable. 

I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects.

I've been using the solution for just one month.

The solution is quite stable. So far, there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

I haven't attempted to scale the product. We haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

We haven't reached out to technical support yet. We only have used the product for a month.

We did previously use other backup solutions. We switched to Acronis as we wanted to try something new. 

We found the initial setup to be straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. However, I am not sure how long the deployment itself took. We had ten people working on it. 

We did the implementation ourselves without the help of any consultants or integrators. 

We have a one-year license for the product, however, I can't speak to the exact cost.

We're a customer and end-user.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we use. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
