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.

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

"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"The product is a good anti-ransomware solution."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"I would recommend this solution. It's easy and fast, you don't need to be on-premises you can use it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"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

"The solution should increase its security features."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"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."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
