Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud vs McAfee Total Protection

Likelihood to Recommend

Home users, business users, every user should be using this solution! It's simple, reliable, easy to use, and affordable. As a reseller, it's what I recommend to my clients, and it's what we use for our needs as well. It's scalable and a complete backup solution for every need we have come across. One particularly hard area has been laptops. Acronis [Cyber Protect Cloud] is intelligent and knows when a laptop is brought onto the corporate network and will perform a local backup at that time and won't try to when it isn't on that network. When off the corporate network, it will only back up the files to the cloud that we have selected to backup. If you're using DropBox, forget about it and start using the Acronis [Cyber Protect Cloud] storage solution. You can share your files among different users with safe and secure backups!

I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

Cons

We would like a more robust remote control solution with more emphasis on unassisted system control and management
When adding client systems, we have to be logged onto the console as the client, it would be nice to able to do that from the reseller account
We wish the file sharing solution was less expensive or allowed for local storage and sharing

I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer.Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably.In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.
