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.

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

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."

"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."

"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."

"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."

"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."

"The most valuable feature is stability."

"It's a user-friendly solution."

"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."

"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."

"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."

"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."

"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"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."

"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."

"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud cons

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's price is reasonable."

"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."

"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"

"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."

"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."

"It is not a cheap product."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."

"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."

"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
