Featured Reviews

Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.
Robert Hedblom - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for storage optimization and archiving functionality of DocAve Backup is valuable for organizations with large amounts of data
Setting it up, it gets stuff happening that's easy, but you need to be very specific on what type of data you should migrate, and why, and when, and so on and so forth. So it's not like the cloud backup feature, which is two minutes. It's a bit more to take into consideration because when you move the data, it's out of the tenant. It's not an issue getting it back to the tenant; that's super easy. But it's better to do it right from the beginning. So it takes a bit more thought power.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The solution has good scalability."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"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."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is good value for money."
"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."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
