Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."

"The licensing model is very good."

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"The tool is user-friendly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

Cons

"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."

"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."

"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"The solution is expensive."
