Data protection needs are supported through effective cybersecurity features
I have installed Acronis Cyber Cloud for file server backup. The second destination for the file server backup is Acronis Cloud Storage The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption. With these features,…

Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. 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. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

"I can expand on the fly by just adding space or the number of users."
"With Acronis Cyber Cloud, I can protect my backups and data from cyber threats."
"The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption."
"The management of Acronis Cyber Cloud is straightforward due to its simplicity in configuration."
"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
 

Cons

"Some improvement is needed in the speed when downloading data from the cloud backups, which requires more bandwidth."
"Pricing is still a little high, as other vendors offer better pricing."
"The interface could be improved, especially the cloud configuration, which currently has many tabs."
"Support for legacy storage solutions, like tape, could be improved. Acronis Cyber Cloud only supports on-premises solutions, and I wish there were a way to implement this support with the cloud or have another backup location, other than the cloud, instead of tape."
"With respect to support, I feel that sometimes there is a delay."
"If there is any attack on the server, I would like to know whether the backup image will be in a healthy or unhealthy status. Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current price for the advanced version is approximately 35,000 Indian rupees."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
