Cost-effective with good data protection and a straightforward setup
Acronis Cyber Protect shows only a few features. We are using their default type of security I am using the default features of Acronis Security. The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy. It's a very cost-effective product. The…
Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
 

Cons

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"We would always support better pricing."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
