Acronis Cyber Protect Reviews

The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly.

In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me.

Acronis Standard software should improve the backup log report. 

I have been using Acronis Backup for approximately two years.

The price is reasonable.

I rate Acronis Backup a seven out of ten.

One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device. 

Another reason we use Acronis is that it allows you to back up a lot of data without losing too much on the time delay during the backup. Also, the amount of data that you can back up for one price is much better than other solutions where the price depends on the amount of the data being backed up.

The speed of the backup solution depends a lot on the speed being deployed on the customer side. For some customers, Acronis is a much better solution.

For some customers, it doesn't just depend on the type of product that you use, but on the infrastructure of the customer as well. Some customers don't have the potential or the infrastructure to support a cloud-based solution as a backup. That's why he had to go to on-premises and use a hybrid solution, which is why using SolarWind for our customers.

So for smaller companies, it's a little more challenging to maintain. But it's hard to say because you could have a very small company, but they have the potential of moving everything using a cloud infrastructure because they have the local infrastructure ready to support that kind of service. But another company may not have the infrastructure to support that kind of service. There are many factors for what kind of services are good for one customer and not good for another one, including the speed of data transfer that the customer can allow. That will determine if you're going to use a backup cloud solution versus a hybrid solution.

Actually, with Acronis, you can back up almost everything that you need to back up, including the engine database. So I don't see what else we could add to that solution for improvement.

When I look from the customer's perspective, everything is there. What could be good is just to have a simple package that could be appropriate for small companies who don't have the requirements for using the cloud solution. Maybe they could just have something a little more on-premises that could allow Acronis to do the customer's backup and then bring it to the cloud. That could be something that Acronis could try because everything now seems to be going to the cloud.

I have been using Acronis Backup for at least eight months.

The stability is nice. It's good. I love it.

I like Acronis Backup's scalability. It is very easy. Acronis gives you a lot of options.

Up to now I didn't have to reach technical support for any kind of problem with Acronis because up to now I never had any problem.

The initial setup is straightforward. You just deploy the program and the setup. Then you just have to specify what you need to backup with the schedule that you want. That's it.

On a scale of one to ten I would give Acronis Backup a nine.

I'm a solutions consultant and we're a customer of Acronis. 

The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick.

We're based in Hong Kong and I think if Acronis could provide local support and some local consultants that would be an improvement. I've just carried out the trial on the solution and actually there is no technical support available for this product. There is also minimal documentation available and if that could be improved it would make a big difference. 

I've been using a trial version of the product for two months. 

It's a stable solution. 

The scalability of the product is fine. It's a cloud product so you just purchase online. For now, I'm the only one in the company using the solution. Once testing is complete that will change.

I'm using the software as a service, so there's no installation.

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We implement Acronis for our clients and we also use it internally. 

It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface. 

It's like there hasn't been any clear thought of linking process to the interface model. It's a very frustrating product but what it does, it does well, which is why even for all of those reasons we still standardize on it as our preferred backup solution. But it drives us mad. 

I'll be completely honest, it's a very annoying product.

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 have been using Acronis Backup for a few years now. 

It's stable. 

It's scalable. We have around ten to fifteen users. The users are a combination of end-users and admins. 

Their technical support is excellent.

The initial setup is slightly complex because the interface design is poor. So certainly, we've often had to scrap our strategies and go back and redo them. I would say that it's slightly complex to get to what you want.

You have to recognize that you might have to go and do it again once or twice until you get it working exactly the way you want it to work.

I would recommend it, but warn people new to it, to be aware that they might well be a bit frustrated at first.

I would rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten. It's one of those products that probably needs an overhaul because it's kind of evolved over time and sometimes when you evolve things, you end up in a hole. It's probably about time for them to sit back and realize that they've made all this functionality and made all these changes so they should go back. 

Also, managing the product is difficult. As a partner, it's difficult to manage our end-user clients because there's no single dashboard where we can go and see our clients and manage them individually. You have to set up an individual setup for each client, which is a bit frustrating.

I would like to see improvements for people that are probably doing an MSP type of approach, managed service providers so that they had a much simpler way to view their end-user situations.

• We can connect to the Acronis Cloud
• The console is user-friendly
• You can backup image and files
• The domain controllers are very effective

I have major clients who use this solution: A university, a bank, and one mid-size client. Recently, I needed to recover all of the accounting data on the database. All of their networks were infected with Ransomware. Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK. Part of what helped me optimize the storage space was deduplication, encryption, and compression.

The online support fluctuates between being very fast or very slow.

I have been using this solution for seven years.  

There were no deployment issues when deploying with Microsoft. But it was not as fast when deploying with Oracle.

There were some scalability issues. When using the Oracle database, the transfer rate to SAN with optical fiber channels was very slow. It doesn't matter than we were only backing up files.  

Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them.

I did not use a previous solution.

It is important that you don't only consider the price. Being able to retrieve missing DB or AD data is much more important than the price.

 I have a YouTube channel with many videos that can help you.

I can make a complete image of an operating system and its applications, then reduce the time to resolve a trouble, or deploy it again to another Windows system on the same or a different piece of hardware.

The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before. The strongest enhancement for us is that we have sped up our response to our users.

Adding a physical storage appliance would be very good, as would the placement of massive HDD to generate the boot CD. It would nice if it was more accessible and enlarging the option to not have an agent such as on hypervisors, VMware, and others. This would mean we could avoid installing an agent on the virtual machines.

I used the Advanced Server and VMware Server for around two years, and Advanced Workstation for one year.

When we would perform a restore and inject the drivers, sometimes the OS would restart.

The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates. Without these, you may generate poor or incorrect Acronis system.

No issues encountered.

It's very good.

It's very good.

We upgraded from Acronis 7 as we upgraded the systems from Windows 2000 and XP to Windows 7 and Server 2008.

It was straightforward as the the admin control was easy to understand when performing the install.

I performed the install myself.

I have been able to recover all my costs associated with the installation.

• Veritas
• Arcserve

It's not complex but it is necessary that IT or the user has definite idea of what they want from backup system.

It hasn't helped us or done anything to change what we do here. We use it to back up our own computers, just in case they break, so we can recover them quickly.

Backup and restore are the most valuable features.

Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore. If you're using one computer, sometimes you want to just back up an external hard drive. It is harder to use than the previous ones I've used.

I would like to get some RAID compatibility and maybe UEFI. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If you could get those things working perfect, that'd be great.

So far, we have not had any stability issues.

We only use one program per computer. We don't usually scale up and we're fine with that.

Technical support was mixed. We were partnered with Acronis and when I would call, it was pretty good. Sometimes it seemed like they could have been better. I would rate them close to a 10/10, but they are not there yet.

We've used Norton. I forgot name of the exact product, but it was one of their solutions. We also used something else. We tried Acronis and it was easy to use and it worked. That's why we switched. Since then, it's been Acronis.

The setup was straightforward.

We did not evaluate other options. We were using older solutions and we had problems with them. So we tried Acronis and it worked.

I'd say test it out. It's so easy to use.

I prefer the features of cloning hard-disk to hard-disk. Also I like the backup function in the old version of Acronis which is more friendly than the new one which is more complicated and unfriendly to use.

Acronis helps to backup data on a server and also to manage some cloning from 1 PC to another using the method. Normally I use Norton Ghost to do the clone however since I used the Acronis true image 2013 I found it to be very useful and not time consuming.

It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version. I would prefer if Acronis would look into their old version and try to enhance it, rather than use new functions on the new version, I would rather stick with the older version.

Yes because I am looking for something easier to use and time conservation is very important in any organization re: backup.

The initial setup is straightforward however some companies prefer to do customization, which makes it complex and Acronis does not really help much when it becomes complex, especially for backup into the storage or NAS.

In-house and vendor team (about 3 out 10).

5 years.

Original setup is costly and for some companies, they will think whether they should implement using Acronis or not.

I think you need to look into business requirement especially when implementing the backup system and make sure the backup software that you buy is 100% fully capable and 100% fully supportive.
