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.

Ensures swift recovery from ransomware attacks and improves business continuity
The best features Datto SIRIS offers are ease of use, competitive pricing, and great support, which stand out for me. The ease of use of Datto SIRIS comes from the all-in-one control panel, making it very easy to use and handy to have compared to other solutions I've used. Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by improving business continuity; after a ransomware attack that took down our main server, using the bare-metal recovery, we were up and running within the day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
