"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"Due to the licensing and deployment, it's scalable and flexible."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."

Cons

"It would be better if the price of the solution was improved for medium-sized businesses. Moreover, the email security should be improved. We are awaiting new updates on the product."
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"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."
"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 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."
"​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."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"I have found that the solution is not as stable as it could be. When there are some errors it is difficult to know what took place to resolve them."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
