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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the management console; it is very easy to use and automation is important, and additionally, overall the solution is easy to use."
"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."
"Due to the licensing and deployment, it's scalable and flexible."
"The tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"You can backup whatever you want, anything from your mobile phone to your OneDrive."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"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."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"Excellent service."
"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."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
 

Cons

"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup."
"Support could be improved, and awareness is important."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"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."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"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."
