Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am from Perú, and IT departments are not very advanced here; basically, it is way better than whatever we are used to using, tapes, etc."
"I would recommend this solution. It's easy and fast, you don't need to be on-premises you can use it from anywhere."
"One of the benefits of using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is that, along with backing up data, it secures it."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"This is a solution that I recommend everybody try."
"The centralized management dashboard helps with team efficiency as well as handling security tasks."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"Technically, the solution is good, but we also have to look at the ecosystem, the pricing policy, and such things."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"It's good for file services."
 

Cons

"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"User interface improvements: I think this needs to be done in the navigation path into the UIs, mainly for the reseller interfaces."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"Technically, the product is good, but the pricing and technical support are not ideal."
"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 Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."
