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…

Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."

"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."

"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of file storage."

"CVO gives us the ability to access data as quickly as possible, which is critical because of the mission set we handle. Some things cannot wait. For example, we tried having the data in the cloud itself, but it took too long for us to retrieve it from cold or deep storage. If we have it ONTAP or on-prem, it's so much easier to pull it within minutes."

"Its scalability is very good."

"The fast recovery time objective with the ability to bring the environment back to production in case something happens."

"The solution’s unified file and block-storage access across our infrastructure is invaluable. Without it, we can't do what we do."

"Its functionality and technical support are adequate to help prevent failure due to errors."

"ONTAP is great for helping you migrate on-premise workflows to cloud environments."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it makes our data readily available and we don't have to go through a lot of trouble to access it."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

Cons

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."

"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."

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The key feature, that we'd like to see in that is the ability to sync between regions within the AWS and Azure regions. We could use the cloud sync service, but we'd really like that native functionality within the cloud volume service."

"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."

"They definitely need to stay more on top of security vulnerabilities. Our security team is constantly finding Java vulnerabilities and SQL vulnerabilities. Our security team always wants the latest security update, and it takes a while for NetApp to stay up to speed with that. That would be my biggest complaint."

"The solution is not stable when using single nodes. This is a problem. NetApp should work on this solution to make it more stable with HA nodes and resolve this issue."

"Scale-up and scale-out could be improved. It would be interesting to have multiple HA pairs on one cluster, for example, or to increase the single instances more, from a performance perspective. It would be good to get more performance out of a single HA pair."

"If they could include clustering together multiple physical Cloud Volumes ONTAP devices as an option, that could be helpful."

"I would like to have more management tools. They are difficult to work with, so I would like them to be a bit more user-friendly."

"We have used technical support. As long as they don't call me at four o'clock in the morning to tell me that a drive failed and they are sending me another one, I like it. They have a tendency to do that."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The price is reasonable."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"We find the pricing to be favorable due to the educational sector we belong to."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was good, but it was a test system, not a real purchase."

"The AWS consumer-based pricing model makes it easy for developers to use their credit cards to spin up virtual servers immediately."

"Cloud is cloud. It's still expensive. Any good solution comes with a price tag. That's where we are looking to see how well we can manage our data in the cloud by trying to optimize the costs."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"They have a very good price which keeps our customers happy."
