Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working
StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management of Acronis Cyber Cloud is straightforward due to its simplicity in configuration."
"The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption."
"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I can expand on the fly by just adding space or the number of users."
"I would rate the overall solution as ten out of ten."
"With Acronis Cyber Cloud, I can protect my backups and data from cyber threats."
"The assurance that we are always protected and backed up is a significant benefit."
"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."
 

Cons

"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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