Acronis Cyber Protect is dependable, stable, with efficient backups, though updates and UI delays pose occasional challenges.
Sentiment score
8.6
<p>N2WS Backup &amp; Recovery is highly praised for its stability and reliability, frequently receiving a nine out of ten rating.</p>
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.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect could improve user interface, installation, compatibility, performance, support, pricing, and integration for enhanced functionality.
<p>N2WS Backup &amp; Recovery requires a better GUI, enhanced stability, and improved file management tools for more efficient backups.</p>
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.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers affordable licensing options, though some find it expensive in large environments, yet valued for capabilities.
<p>N2WS Backup &amp; Recovery provides scalable, cost-effective cloud backup solutions with flexible pricing based on usage and exceptional customer support.</p>
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect combines easy interface, backup, and cybersecurity for versatile OS support with centralized management and cloud storage.
<p>N2WS Backup &amp; Recovery is praised for its user-friendly design, efficient AWS instance management, strong repository, and reporting features.</p>
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.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.

Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. 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. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.
Hitesh Jethwa - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, easy to deploy, and stable
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We require one engineer for maintenance. I would highly recommend N2WS Backup & Recovery, as I have had no issues and the sales and technical support teams have been excellent. They keep in touch with us every three to six months via email and phone calls.
