Intern Systems And Security at a tech consulting company with 51-200 employees
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
You can expand it as much as you can expand it, but if you get the Datto SIRIS 3, it's not going to be as good as the enterprise version of Datto SIRIS 5.
Cyber Security Consultant
The contracts are flexible enough to upgrade or downgrade the product without too much of a penalty.
Managing Director at HB Technologies
Scalability is dependent on the cloud provider we are using, so it cannot be solely judged through Datto SIRIS.
AI/ML Engineer at IT BY DESIGN
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Acronis Cyber Protect is generally stable and dependable, with minor performance issues often due to user environment factors.
Sentiment score
7.2
Datto SIRIS is reliable and stable, automating backups to prevent failures without user-reported downtime or outages.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
Acronis Cyber Protect is stable and if we get any issues, the help team is very helpful and their support team replies very fast.
Intern Systems And Security at a tech consulting company with 51-200 employees
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd

AI/ML Engineer at IT BY DESIGN
I haven't had any issues or seen any issues with the ones over the past four or five years.
Cyber Security Consultant
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect requires enhanced data stability, ease of installation, user interface improvements, and better pricing and support.
Datto SIRIS struggles with Mac OS backup, performance, high costs, and requires faster recovery and better integration tools.
We are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
Chairman at ONGC
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
Having something such as a community for peer-to-peer interaction would be a valuable asset.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment.
Engineer at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees
Saying that it is the network is not detailed enough. We need more specific information about the network.
President & CEO at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Strengthening security to enhance the product's overall effectiveness in backup and disaster management.
Infrastructure Engineer at Neurealm
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers competitive, affordable pricing with flexible, user-based models and minimal setup costs, ideal for SMBs and enterprises.
Datto SIRIS offers fair pricing and seamless setup, but lengthy contracts and MSP upcharges might deter some SMB clients.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
I think it is not that expensive.
Intern Systems And Security at a tech consulting company with 51-200 employees
The only issue is that a lot of people are looking to cut costs, especially right now, and Datto has priced itself out of one of the largest parts of the U.S. market.
Cyber Security Consultant
It's a high-level solution, and the price is correct for me.
Engineer at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees
Thoughts on pricing indicate that it is handled by a different team, varies based on specific solutions and storage capacities selected by organizations, and is generally fairly priced for the value provided.
Infrastructure Engineer at Neurealm
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect is user-friendly, supports various platforms, offers robust backup, recovery, and integrates malware protection efficiently.
Datto SIRIS offers reliable, efficient backup and recovery with user-friendly features, excellent security, support, and competitive cost-effectiveness.
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.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA
My experience with the one-click disaster recovery feature is that it simplifies the process significantly, allowing for rapid recovery and integration with backup and disaster recovery solutions, automating tasks while providing security against various threats.
Infrastructure Engineer at Neurealm
In the last six years, none of my customers faced a ransomware attack, and we use this functionality for system outages and physical server crashes.
System Engineer II at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The reporting via email from Datto SIRIS for me, my customer, and my team shows that every single backup is okay or if there is a problem because the snapshot for the server is broken or another problem that I can address systematically.
Engineer at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees

Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
James Melton - PeerSpot reviewer

Reliable backups have protected email and servers and now enable rapid ransomware recovery
For the smaller Datto SIRIS devices that are made for backing up one or maybe two different machines, adding more RAM and giving it a better CPU would be phenomenal. Sometimes when dealing with entry-level Datto SIRIS products, you face an issue depending on how much storage there is on there when it's trying to parse through all of the data. It takes a while, and when it comes to data recovery, time is everything. Datto SIRIS should remove the ability to set it up as a NAS-based file share operation system. It seems counterintuitive for something that is made for immutable storage that is walled off so that it can't be destroyed to be allowed to be a local centralized file share that individuals have access to. This seems to be begging for a mishap. Datto SIRIS will require some maintenance when the hard drive gets past 50% capacity, which is Datto's statement on the capacity. You should never use past 50% of the storage locally. Then you have to reach out to Datto directly to get an external hard drive to transfer files to send off the data for it to be shot up to the cloud. We've had a couple of instances of devices not uploading to the cloud because either they were too full or there were failures in certain parts of the file upload to the cloud, which put it into a circle of death where it just kept trying to do the same thing over and over again and had to request assistance from Datto in those situations. Otherwise, if you store it in a dusty cabinet, you have to spray it with a computer duster every once in a while.
