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.
Pramodh Maheshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."

Cons

"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."
"Slow response from technical support."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"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."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"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."
