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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"The product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"Bareos offers encryption on the fly, compression on the fly, and a robust and stable configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users."
 

Cons

"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"Slow response from technical support."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
