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."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"The tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"It provides quick backup recovery."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"Technically, the solution is good, but we also have to look at the ecosystem, the pricing policy, and such things."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"Excellent service."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
 

Cons

"​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 solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"We have used the support and we have been unsatisfied. We do not use it very often but the time we have it was not very smooth."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"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."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of 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."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"It is not a cheap product."
"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"
