Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud vs. WithSecure Business Suite

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.

• Very stable and cost-effective.
• Better integration with leading database vendors would be great; this would address features that are missing like x-windows support and concurrent secure file transfers.
• Patching is relatively fast and not as frequent as other vendors (with no impact on adherence to security best practices).

• Very easy to install and low storage footprint.

Incentivized

• Local backup to local encrypted and protected hard drives
• Cloud backups of files, folders, or entire machines
• Vulnerability assessment of systems
• Antivirus and content filtering
• Remote control of systems
• Integration with Connectwise and other RMM and MSP tools
• Replacement that's better than Dropbox or Google drive

Incentivized

• Most up to date secure/encryption technology.
• Very fast to set up and maintain.
• Supported by all major hardware platforms (Microsoft, Linux).

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• X-windows support could be more robust.
• Virtual shell adaptation could be improved.
• Greater concurrency for large secure transmissions would be a great add-on.

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.

Overall, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is powerful and effective. The platform has user-friendly features and a centralized dashboard that simplifies management across multiple clients. This platform integrates backup, recovery, and security features effectively, all in one. It makes our lives easier.

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 organization is active, so is online community boards.
• There have been no significant issues that haven't been able to be quickly addressed by either online documentation or F-Secure support.
• Easy to use diagnostic tools and information gathering, make problem analysis fast.
• Phone support can be different due to time zone differences, but this has not been a major issue.

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.

• This suite of software does not have any mentionable competition, in my opinion.
• It adheres to current security protocols, in-frequent patching requirements, low IT overhead, and on-going support are exemplary.
• Robust documentation and online community boards help keep support and maintenance transparent and efficient.
• Legacy support for older OS' is quite useful.
• Simplicity when onboarding into custom hybrid network configurations is also vital.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Very low cost.
• Low IT overhead (very low network bandwidth, CPU, storage utilization).
• Supported by all major hardware vendors.
