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 has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"Excellent service."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"Support could be improved, and awareness is important."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern 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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"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's price is reasonable."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"The product is not expensive. It's in the middle. For its capabilities, it's on the affordable side."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
