Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"The customer service and support are really good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
 

Cons

"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"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 would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
