    The services are easy to learn and manage. The support team is very competent and resolves my issues that come s up easily. As a business partner, they are proactive in offering solutions and help to improve what we are doing. They are always there for engineering solutions that we are not sure how to do.

    Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations.

    Cons
    Acronis
    • The website is pretty slow and will kick you off sometimes. I know they are working on this. For now, this is the biggest problem we have with Acronis.
    • Their support team isn't great. It can take a while to get an issue resolved, although issues do not happen frequently.

    • Firewall rule management.
    • Adobe products kick of encryption protection on a file server.

    They recently raised the pricing for backup usage and our price has nearly doubled. It is still lower than some other vendors, but we might review other options before renewing next year.

    Usability
    Acronis
    The platform is quite intuitive and centralizes many functions into a single console, which facilitates the daily management of all clients. However, some sections—such as the RMM, security audit reports, or the Awareness service—could be more comprehensive to enhance the overall experience. La plataforma es bastante intuitiva y centraliza muchas funciones en una sola consola, lo que facilita la gestión diaria de todos los clientes. Sin embargo, algunos apartados como el RMM o los informes de auditoría de seguridad o el servicio de Awareness podrían ser más completos para mejorar la experiencia general.

    Support has been helpful when we have had to reach out. We have not had to contact support that much so I do not have much feedback on them. I met the support team at the Cyber Summit and they are all very nice, smart individuals.

    Support is generally great, however, they can be a bit more flexible and faster to respond. Considering I have purchased a few hundred licenses, I think my support desk deserves to be at least able to schedule calls with the support, which is not always the case. Apart from that, they are always helpful, knowledgeable and have, so far, resolved any and all issues that we have been needing help with.

    Price! All the services have low entry points and then hit you with big fees. Acronis Advanced Backup provides better management and control of your cost then the other services we evaluated. We have tested a number of solutions not on the list that have are price competitive, but the support was lacking.

    Sophos Intercept X has proven to be a valuable (XDR) tool. It stacks up against its competitors due to its ability to work across all devices and understand network issues. Sophos Intercept X provides a single console from which you can manage all your security applications anytime. It provides next-gen protection to your organization.

    Return on Investment
    Acronis
    • We have been able to further develop our customerbase and and more MSP as our partners
    • Overall the recurring revenue coming from Acronis, will help us to increase revenue and margin, without investing in new hardware and save on energy-cost.
    • It is time consuming to implement Acronis into our system and train our employees. With this there is also cost involved, but we believe in the long-term investements we make here.
