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

"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"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."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"It would be better if the price of the solution was improved for medium-sized businesses. Moreover, the email security should be improved. We are awaiting new updates on the product."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"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."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features. Additionally, for backups, I would like more replication options beyond the current VMXI replication."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"It is good value for money."
"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"When we tested the scenario for over 20 employees, the cost was much lower than the other solutions in the market."
"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
