Featured Reviews

Mohamed Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries
The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
 

Cons

"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 new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
