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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."

"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."

"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."

"It provides quick backup recovery."

"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."

"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."

"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."

"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

More Carbonite Server pros

Cons

"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."

"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."

"We've had some troubles with the data center."

"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."

"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."

"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."

"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."

"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud cons

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."

"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."

"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
