Partner Account Manager at Interworks S.A.

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.

Saves us a lot of time, and the administration is simpler

NetApp's Integration with AWS has helped us because we had a tough time transferring data when we used an ONTAP competitor as our storage partner. They don't have integration with AWS tools, so we had to figure it out on our own. ONTAP has built-in integration and allows us to replicate a copy to our second data center. Everything is in one channel. It's possible without the technology, but it's more time-consuming. NetApp saves us a lot of time, and the administration is simpler.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."

"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."

"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."

"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."

"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."

"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."

"It provides quick backup recovery."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pros

"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of file storage."

"The ability for our users to restore data from the Snapshots is very valuable."

"The ease of use in terms of how the product works is valuable. We are able to work with it and deploy the storage that we need."

"It is much easier to control data since we can run queries across all our platforms with just one solution. Not only that, we can also monitor all the platforms with Active IQ, where we can see all the alerts, messages, and space consumption through a single application. This is regardless if the data is on-prem or AWS. It is much more efficient."

"The initial setup was straightforward. We started with a small pilot and we then moved to production with no downtime at all."

"We are definitely in the process of reducing our footprint on our secondary data center and all those snapshots technically reduce tape backup. That's from the protection perspective, but as far as files, it's much easier to use and manage and it's faster, too."

"CVO gives us the ability to access data as quickly as possible, which is critical because of the mission set we handle. Some things cannot wait. For example, we tried having the data in the cloud itself, but it took too long for us to retrieve it from cold or deep storage. If we have it ONTAP or on-prem, it's so much easier to pull it within minutes."

Cons

"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."

"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."

"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."

"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."

"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud cons

"I would like to see better integration with Active IQ."

"We've just been dealing with general pre-requisite infrastructure configuration challenges. Once those are out of the way, it is easy."

"I would like this solution to be brought to all the three major players. Right now it's supported only on AWS and Azure. They should bring it to Google as well, because we would like to have flexibility in choosing the underlying cloud storage provider."

"We are getting a warning alert about not being able to connect to Cloud Manager when we log into it. The support has provided links, but this particular issue is not fixed yet."

"When Azure does their maintenance, they do maintenance on one node at a time. With the two nodes of the CVO, it can automatically fail over from one node to the node that is staying up. And when the first node comes back online, it will fail back to the first node. We have had issues with everything failing back 100 percent correctly."

"I'm very happy with the solution, the only thing that needs improvement is the web services API. It could be a little bit more straightforward. That's my only issue with it. It can get pretty complex."

"The navigation on some of the configuration parameters is a bit cumbersome, making the learning curve on functions somewhat steep."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."

"The solution is moderately priced."

"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."

"Its cost depends on storage size and number of endpoints."

"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."

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

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing could be improved. It is a good product, but it is very expensive for me."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there are fees for Azure, the VMs themselves and for data transfer."

"Some flexibility around the licensing model would help. The product is licensed based on capacity. Basically, the largest capacity license that you can buy is 368 terabytes. At this point, NetApp is addressing some people's concerns around this."

"The pricing of this solution is definitely higher than what the typical Azure Files and AWS solutions charge, but given the features and the stability NetApp has provided, we are okay with it. We are not complaining about the pricing."

"Our licensing is based on a yearly subscription. That is an additional cost, but because of the storage efficiencies that the NetApp gives, even with the additional cost of the NetApp license, you still end up saving money versus straight Azure native for storage. It's definitely worth it."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"It is expensive. There are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees."
