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.

Some customers are using Acronis as a backup and for their server and VMware environment as well as their client-server backup requirements.

The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas. Even introducing it to a customer only requires a brief technical presentation as it's so easy to use.

The way they schedule backups is very intuitive. 

Users are able to get into the technical aspects very easy as everything is quite straightforward. 

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

There's good assistance close by in Singapore and Malaysia and from the support side, we tend to get a good response. 

We had few issues previously, however, when we raise a ticket with Acronis, we have a local partner. 

There are some limitations to the backup. When the client does backups, we found some limitations when introducing computers to their backup - even just their site interface-level backups. 

We had some incidents with Hyper-V environments. When we scheduled a backup, they had to open up Check Point before they're taking a backup. Yet, due to some issues, even though there were no any Check Points solutions at the server-side, it was still giving an error from the Acronis side saying there's a Check Point issue. The client, for some reason, cannot take a backup because of Check Point. I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed in the newer software or not. However, even just yesterday we updated to a new system and the client still has issues sometimes. 

We had an incident when configuring reporting with Office 365. If the customer is using Office 365 through a cloud conveyor service, it gets a little difficult to configure the reporting part to get notifications to the customer.

In the next release, they need endpoint-level security. They say they're trying to build their system and product into something that will allow customers to not have to restore their backup. With more ransomware and other malicious attack protection, they could alert you to vulnerabilities. This is in the pipeline, or about to be released. I have yet to see any alerts as we just added the newest version yesterday. 

We are a solution-providing company. We probably have a couple of customers who are using the solution for three years. 

The stability is really good. We had a server that crashed with a ransomware issue, however, we still had the protection of the backup software, and the ransomware did not interact with the backup. We were able to back up everything and remove the backup from the affected server. From that experience, I would say the solution is good and stable. 

The solution is scalable. Of course, we need to buy the license. That said, it is not the same cost that you need to pay as you would if you were buying a new one. If you already are running an Acronis Backup version, getting an expansion is less than when you're buying a new license. 

There are some clients that have embedded licenses for 100 users or so.

Technical support is helpful. We like that the support is available in the region and it is great working with them.

I have some experience with Altaro, Veeam, and Veritas.

With Acronis, when comparing Veritas and Acronis, even a small or medium-sized customer can access through Acronis. With Veritas, the solution is much more geared towards larger-scale companies. 

We are systems integrators and can implement the product for our clients. 

The pricing of the solution is reasonable. In Sri Lanka, there aren't too many large businesses that use it, however, there are many mid-range clients that we have that are on it.

We're a systems integrator.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution, however, whether it's suitable or not would be based on each individual company's requirements. 

A simple customer likely just needs their user backups to be stored in a server or a remote location. Price-wise, Acronis is best suited for that. However, if a customer needs more features that may include more than just the backups or sync, there are other options. That said, Acronis does have lots of features.

We installed the Acronis Backup agents on the user's computer stations that require backups. We then created a schedule and a backup policy. Additionally, we deployed Acronis Backup on the Windows Server. I connected with the local discs of the server, which will be the targets of the backups.

For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup.

The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures.

I have been using this solution for approximately one year.

I have found the solution stable and has good performance.

The solution is scalable.

The solution is simple to deploy with the provided documentation that was very detailed.

The implementation took us approximately two days with two engineers.

There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten.

Our customers use this solution for backup.

Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud.

It is easy to deploy. It is easy to handle and easy to monitor.

The Acronis system is very powerful.

It doesn't support all of the databases. Maybe in the future, it could support databases such as MySQL, or Postgres, as these are some of the customer's needs.

We are looking for IT solutions to backup all systems that our customers are using. It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres.

There are many other types of databases that Acronis does not support.

I would like to see more mobile applications available. It would be very nice.

We would like Acronis as an all-in-one, or all-in-box solution. It should be sold as storage, licensing, and application all in one unit. We like to provide complete solutions to our clients rather than having to tell them that they must purchase additional storage. With Barracuda, the device D190 comes with one terabyte backup, and no additional requests have to be made to the customer.

It would be good if Acronis could get the recommended hardware.

We have been using Acronis Backup for our customers for more than three years.

I have not encountered any bugs or glitches with this solution, and it's stable

Many times, we have worked with the recovery, it was available and very successful to restore.

We recently had an issue with a Microsoft Exchange VMware Server where it was down. We got the backup from the storage and were able to restore it. It was very nice. 

Scalability can improve. Acronis doesn't support some of the databases.

We are a technical company, we have not opened any tickets with support. We have been able to resolve the issues ourselves, so we have not required any help from Acronis support.

We are resellers for Barracuda in Jordan.

Barracuda is a very rigid backup system. All needs are available in Barracuda.

I trust Barracuda. I don't see anything missing in Barracuda. It covers our needs because there is an agent to help with other types of databases.

I would rate Barracuda a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy.

We use two different types of licenses for our customers.

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

The licensing works in nodes. For example, for every node, you have to purchase a license. If I have an Active Directory or a physical server, and I have Microsoft Exchange with a third server, SQL, I will have to purchase three licenses from Acronis.

When compared to Barracuda, the license is based on the device's storage.

It is more expensive than Acronis initially, but as the licenses increase with Acronis, Barracuda ends up being less expensive.

We have been evaluating Barracuda to learn more about the services it offers.

As for me, I prefer Barracuda.

Acronis is a good product that works well in small businesses.

I would rate Acronis Backup a nine out of ten.

My clients use it for disaster recovery events. Because of the ERP systems they have, these types of events need a space in the cloud to work immediately and recover the capacity for people to work in the company.

It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately.

Another valuable feature is that you could have all the information in the cloud. When you need to start working with a machine, you can do it. This is a very valuable option for our clients.

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.

Sometimes the computers don't work well, and you need a lot of time to recover the users' information. It's also difficult to get the users' laptops to work with this because Windows can crash in some models, and it takes time to recover all the information.

I have been working with Acronis Backup for three years or more.

It's a stable solution. We've had little problems, but it's with the WAN connection because the client doesn't have enough bandwidth. It wasn't a problem with Acronis, and it was a problem with the client. 

It's a scalable solution. We have medium-sized companies as clients. For example, some have 60 users, and another has 100 users.

In Ecuador, a lot of people use Veeam Backup, Arcserve, and Veritas. The government also uses Data Protector from HP. Acronis is very easy and a new way to get backups or any kind of images or information. But Arcserve is a local solution that you need to install in a server and create jobs from another server. Acronis is a cloud solution, but with Arcserve, you need a server to install it. It's a very different way to use this application.

It's difficult to recover from tapes because of certain data center solutions in Ecuador that use UDX. It's like a hard disk that you can connect to a USB port, and you can get all the information. But when it falls on the floor, you can lose all the information in other types of hard disks. But the capacity is not much, just around three or four terabytes. But it's a good solution to use with some clients because they don't have a lot of space in their servers and this capacity is enough to recover old information.

The initial setup is very easy. You just connect the USB port to the server, and it'll see another logical drive. If you use software like GFI Backup, you can program replica backups or have other types of information copied in this logical drive. 

You need one person who is the main IT employee and another person who helps the IT Manager maintain this solution.

We implement this solution for our clients.

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. 

I would tell potential users that Acronis has more solutions for different environments. You can get information from servers that don't use Windows and use other operating systems like Linux and Ubuntu. You can recover it in the cloud, and you can start a virtual machine. You can synchronize information. You've got a lot of features that the other solutions require you to install locally. It's very easy to use.

Technical support really isn't necessary in many cases because it's very intuitive, and it's not complex to resolve problems. If you want to get more information, you can find it on the Acronis site or the internet. You can resolve most of the little problems on your own.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Acronis Backup a ten.

We primarily use the solution as backup and recovery.

The product is very easy to use.

It's quite stable.

The solution is very flexible. 

Its feature set is well balanced.

The initial setup is very straightforward and the deployment is very fast.

The licensing model is very good.

The solution is on-premises and therefore is not very scalable. 

The solution already covers all of the requirements I need. I don't recall missing a feature or capability.

The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me.

We've been uisng the solution for 12 years. It's been over a decade at this point. We have quite a bit of experience with it.

The stability of the product is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The solution isn't scalable. It's a set size as an on-premises device.

On an administrative level, three people are on the solution.

We do not plan to increase usage. Using this solution is a bit of a special case within the company.

Our company mostly uses Veam. Only I am using Acronis within our organization.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's easy and very straightforward.

The deployment is fast. It only takes about 20 minutes or so.

I handled the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of an implementor or consultant.

There is a one-time purchase of the product. After that, users only have to pay renewals on maintenance and support. I like the licensing model.

You are paying for very good value. Everything is well balanced. For me, in this case, the pricing is justified. It's worth the price tag.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'm responsible for fast and dedicated, fair infrastructure, which is on-premise. I'm using Acronis for Windows 10 and in the company, I'm using the Acronis for ESXi to make backups for virtual machines.

I'd rate this solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very pleased with the capabilities.

The solution is exceptional for desktop backup.

The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement.

I have been using this solution for six years.

Customer support needs improvement.

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

I rate Acronis Backup a six 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.

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.

They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement.

We have started selling Acronis solutions six or seven months ago. 

It is stable and scalable. We have not had any complaints from the customers.

I am yet to explore it in terms of scalability in the enterprise environment. It is mostly being used in small companies.

I have not yet contacted them.

It is quite simple to deploy. I have my own team for its maintenance. There are four or five qualified engineers.

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.

We have recently started to sell Acronis solutions. We have been helping customers to understand what Acronis is all about. We give demos to our customers, and customers are quite happy with the demo and cost of Acronis. Overall, it is a good product. 

I would recommend this solution for smaller environments. It is mostly being used in small companies. Enterprise customers also usually use it for small projects. I haven't explored it for customers with a really big environment. For big enterprise customers, there are other solutions, like Veritas NetBackup, that provide scalability and support for big infrastructures. 

I would rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten. 

My daily use is that I log into the Admin Portal and I go to the portal of our customers and I get agent software for Windows or Linux. I then copy this agent on another server and I register that.

Our primary use case is to find agents.

I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes. 

I started using Acronis six months ago.

It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly.

We are planning to buy the disaster edition and to use more of Acronis. 

The initial setup was simple. It was done in ten minutes. 

I set it up for somebody else. 

I think that Acronis Backup is good.

In terms of improvement, it would be helpful to know the Acronis support email to directly contact other Acronis support emails.

I would rate Acronis Backup a ten out of ten. I am very satisfied with Acronis.
