"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."

"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"The integration with multiple modules in the console and the backup and recovery features are very good."
"It provides quick backup recovery."

"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."

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