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.

A reliable backup solution that needs to incorporate a flexible pricing model
We use Boxafe for backup.  I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days.  Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible.  I have been working with the product for seven years.  The product is stable.  I rate Boxafe's scalability an eight out of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The most valuable feature I have found the be the management console it is very easy to use and automation is important. Additionally, overall the solution is easy to use."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
 

Cons

"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
