Cons

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."

"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."

"Relying solely on a desktop is a bit frustrating as its GUI isn't exactly responsive."
