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.
Albert-Wang - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive data protection supports diverse IT environments
Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products. It supports cross-platform backup and recovery, allowing customers to back up from one platform and recover to another. The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use. In addition to virtual machine backups, the platform supports physical server backups, file backups, and database backups. This comprehensive support allows customers to back up most IT resources, including the public cloud, within one platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
 

Cons

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"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."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
