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…

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The speed could be better."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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 find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"The pricing is good."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
