Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."

"One of the benefits of using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is that, along with backing up data, it secures it."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options, and converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"We like the backup functionality."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good product that serves multiple purposes."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."

Cons

"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"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."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"Slow response from technical support."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"There are several things that cannot be backed up as a full system, but rather only as a shared file. It isn't compatible with all applications and databases."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
