Integrated backup and AI-based protection have strengthened our cybersecurity and simplified patch management across diverse platforms
Apart from backing up your on-premises servers, Acronis Cyber Cloud allows you to back up cloud servers on Azure, AWS, and Google. It also backs up in Azure Storage, Azure Blob, and S3 bucket on AWS. You can back up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and it supports virtualization platforms such as Hyper-V, VMware, Nutanix, and Red Hat, and much more. Acronis Cyber Cloud supports a lot of platforms for backup. Acronis Cyber Cloud's API integration works fine, though I do not handle that part; my colleague handles the API integration. The ability to work with more platforms is important. My final rating for Acronis Cyber Cloud is eight.

Backup platform has significantly improved recovery speed and reliability for critical outages
Instant Virtualization is the best feature of Datto SIRIS that we have liked so far, as it allows us to boot servers in minutes during outages. The use of Datto SIRIS has significantly improved our Recovery Time Objectives. We have been using other software like Veeam and Microsoft Backup as well, so we have found Datto quite competitive to them. Our experience has been good so far, our clients are satisfied, and we have been handling outages effectively. We have not had the opportunity to use the One-Click Disaster Recovery feature because the last time we experienced a phishing attack, it was resolved and did not escalate to a disaster scenario, so we did not need to use that feature. Datto SIRIS improves reliability by providing storage space that enhances overall dependability. The centralized dashboards in the Hero Reports feature have been most beneficial for our IT reporting needs. The Hero Reports feature provides extensive capabilities that include the specific points we need for our demonstration. Even if we want to use these features to train machine learning models, they are very useful for us, and we do not need to perform much work on the data to extract those features. It has helped in reducing disaster recovery testing hours because it has features that help us by monitoring malicious activities throughout the database and notifying us of any fluctuations in normal behavior. Datto SIRIS is good at assessing effectiveness regarding ransomware recovery, and it is competitive in the market. However, the only concern we have been thinking about is its pricing. The pricing of Datto SIRIS is more expensive than Veeam and Microsoft Backup. On the other hand, it provides many more options and much greater feasibility.

"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The assurance that we are always protected and backed up is a significant benefit."

"Instant Virtualization is the best feature of Datto SIRIS that we have liked so far, as it allows us to boot servers in minutes during outages."
"Previously, three hours were spent on troubleshooting and everything, but now with Datto SIRIS, issues are resolved in half an hour or less."
"Datto SIRIS works out of the box and it is a key feature that we really appreciate."
"Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by drastically reducing downtime, with recovery from server failures now taking just five to ten minutes."
"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."
"The best feature of Datto SIRIS is that we are just two clicks away from remoting into the client environment, and we can fetch all the information in one place."
"Datto SIRIS has changed my recovery time objectives significantly, as it is excellent, taking minimal time, with a simple and smoother interface that allows for a shorter backup process compared to other applications I have used, such as Commvault."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The interface could be improved, especially the cloud configuration, which currently has many tabs."
"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"With respect to support, I feel that sometimes there is a delay."
"I would give the pricing for Acronis Cyber Cloud a five. It could be a bit cheaper."
"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."
"I have not seen any reduction in disaster recovery testing hours from Datto SIRIS."
"The cost is higher compared to other platforms in the market like Veeam or Acronis."
"In my opinion about Datto SIRIS, areas for improvement include increasing speed in recovery processes and strengthening security to enhance the product's overall effectiveness in backup and disaster management."
"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."
"I was disappointed with the processing power and the storage capacity of the ALTO 5 device. Within two weeks of deploying it, I was getting emails that I need to upgrade it."
"For improvements in Datto SIRIS, I would suggest enhancing large-scale virtualization performance and providing more transparent pricing, as that is often complex for MSPs and end customers."

"The current price for the advanced version is approximately 35,000 Indian rupees."
