Vinoth Thangavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"We like the backup functionality."
"The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"The agent stability needs improvement."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"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."
"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."
"​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."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"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."
"The product’s pricing is expensive."
"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
