Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy.""The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good.""It is a scalable solution.""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.""The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good.""The most valuable feature is disaster recovery.""The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management.""We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."

"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate.""I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent.""The most valuable feature is the domain settings page.""The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something.""The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade.""The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine.""We can scale up and down as we require.""They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."

Cons
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​""The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time.""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.""The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance.""The solution should increase its security features.""Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing.""There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it.""I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Cons →

"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done.""There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades.""They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive.""I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page.""Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find.""When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions.""Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security.""They could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
  • "There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
  • "With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
  • "We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
  • "I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
  • "We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
  • "Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
  • "It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
  • More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I pay just over £20 per month and have done so ever since I started eight years ago, which to me is good value."
  • "The pricing model is very simple. I like the simplicity of it, starting at $5, then doubling as it goes up from there. That is a brilliant idea, and it is not complex at all. It is about as dead simple as you can imagine. So, if you want to double what you have, then you double your price, pay the money, and reboot. It is done. It's that simple. You can't beat that."
  • "One key difference is that pricing is very hard to come by and to understand with all the bigger companies. Their pricing models are so weird and it's hard to figure out exactly how much I am going to pay for this kind of service. Everything is piecemeal. With Linode, it's simple and straightforward. You know exactly what you will have to pay at the end of the day."
  • "Compared to other service providers, like AWS and Google, the cost of services are much less and more affordable. We are saving about 90 percent by going with Linode versus other cloud providers."
  • "The pricing model is very simple. If you have very small applications, you can use the plan which costs $5 per month. That gives you 50 GB of memory and almost 1 GB of RAM. If you need more than you have to select the next plan which is $10 per month, which has about 70 GB of data and 2 GB of RAM."
  • "The value for the price is really good."
  • "Pricing is very good and flexible, according to the resources required."
  • "Being that they are small, their prices are slightly higher than the large providers like Amazon if you compare raw computing power."
