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

"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."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"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."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"We are forced to purchase space in Acronis' private cloud, which is expensive."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"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 anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
