Effective data loss prevention and good for small and medium enterprises
We are almost ready to acquire ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus. We have a lot of tools. We currently use Acronis Cyber Protect and are looking at zero trust file transfer tools. We have hands-on experience with some tools and are continuously upgrading our infrastructure and security tools. We started with Acronis. I think we had McAfee before I joined, and then we switched to Acronis. We are okay with it. Price and features were the main reason you decided to go with Acronis. It is good value for the money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
 

Cons

"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"It is not a cheap product."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
