The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect requires improvements in interface design, compatibility, scalability, integration, performance, support, documentation, and security measures.
Mimecast Incydr needs better usability, integration, reporting, legal hold, Safari support, and admin features to enhance user experience.
We are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
Chairman at ONGC
If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers flexible licensing and reasonable ongoing costs, providing value and cost-effectiveness for smaller environments.
Mimecast Incydr offers competitive, transparent pricing with negotiable discounts, praised flexibility, and valued support, though complex licensing challenges smaller businesses.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, cloud integration, and secure backups with advanced cybersecurity features.
Mimecast Incydr provides seamless, secure data protection with versatile features and robust customer support, enhancing user trust and efficiency.
The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
One of the features that takes the image backup of all our HMIs is a particularly good feature that we use frequently.
Chairman at ONGC
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA

Featured Reviews

ArunKumar24 - PeerSpot reviewer
Chairman at ONGC
Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
Chuck_Mackey - PeerSpot reviewer

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support
In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.
