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,…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Acronis Cyber Cloud, I can protect my backups and data from cyber threats."
"I can expand on the fly by just adding space or the number of users."
"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."
"I would rate the overall solution as ten out of ten."
"The assurance that we are always protected and backed up is a significant benefit."
"The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved, especially the cloud configuration, which currently has many tabs."
"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is still a little high, as other vendors offer better pricing."
"With respect to support, I feel that sometimes there is a delay."
"Some improvement is needed in the speed when downloading data from the cloud backups, which requires more bandwidth."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current price for the advanced version is approximately 35,000 Indian rupees."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
