We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and AWS Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"It could be less expensive."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"If AWS could also add some hybrid cloud features to AWS Backup, that would be a significant improvement. For example, currently, AWS Backup only backs up to the S3 and Amazon Cloud, and you can only restore from the Amazon Cloud only. However, some people have hybrid environments. They have some workloads on-premises and some workloads in the cloud."
"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
