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.

Delivers cost-effective data backup with room for search improvements
The challenges I face especially are those I've mentioned, that finding some specific data in N-able Cove Data Protection is not as easy as it is in some other systems. You cannot just search for something—you need to know where it was and when it was there to restore it, plus it would be nice to take out data from Microsoft 365 in some portable format, which is currently not an option. I would like to extract the data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format, something like a database or maybe just to take out a PST file or SharePoint and Teams files to the file system. Especially in these times, where we discuss potential risks with the Microsoft cloud for European companies, companies would want to know how to access their data from the backup if they suddenly don't have a tenant. I believe there should be the ability to take out data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format. I know that Cohesity is working on making such a thing. It's not there yet; I asked last week for something for forensics, and the support team said it's not possible yet, but I know from our technical account manager they are working on some solutions.
