Effective data loss prevention and good for small and medium enterprises
We are almost ready to acquire ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus. We have a lot of tools. We currently use Acronis Cyber Protect and are looking at zero trust file transfer tools. We have hands-on experience with some tools and are continuously upgrading our infrastructure and security tools. We started with Acronis. I think we had McAfee before I joined, and then we switched to Acronis. We are okay with it. Price and features were the main reason you decided to go with Acronis. It is good value for the money.
MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplify compliance and management of multiple backups with centralized cloud solutions
AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services. Also, it would be helpful if AWS Backup could integrate logs more thoroughly. This would allow not only new users but also experienced users to more easily check logs directly from AWS Backup.

Cons

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The technical support could be improved. When you create a ticket, the responsiveness you'd expect is lacking."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
