Comparison Results: Because Acronis Backup offers significantly less functionality, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud ultimately wins out in this comparison.
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The setup is very easy."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
