    Acronis Cyber Protect is great for any small/mid-sized business. The price point makes it attractive to all budgets >$100/year for 5 device deployments. Competitors offer less and charge more! Very happy with the suite of products, and renewals are simple and straightforward as well. I hope they don't change a thing!

    Pros
    Acronis
    • Delta backup makes backups super fast of larger files that do not change in its entirety (e.g. VM images, large PSD files)
    • Easy to use (set it and forget it)
    • Rescue media makes it easy to restore backups to different hardware and migrate to other work stations
    • Lots of backup options on the Windows version of ATI

    Cons
    Acronis
    • Some features have actually become more complicated over the years. One that comes to mind is creating a backup plan that can execute daily to an external USB media that is changed daily (older versions would back up to the, for example, "F" drive regardless of which drive was attached - newer versions identify each drive uniquely, and a backup task created with a given external drive will fail due to the lack of media presence if the drive is replaced).
    • Error messages could be less cryptic.
    • Support turnaround time and live assistance could be faster.

    Usability
    Acronis
    Protect my system from data loss and also can manage multiple devices via online cloud from any where and also can set Multifactor authentication for more secure login access. Archive any backup which will use less space and we can transfer it to any other space also so it is very easy as server admin to manage acronics utilities

    Beyond a single instance, I haven't had to approach Acronis' support. I needed a new key following the death of my previous workstation, and they rapidly supplied it. I've heard from colleagues that they've quickly answered any questions that've been asked. If I need something, I'll generally frequent FAQ pages first, although Acronis actually has instructional videos to help users get started, which is forward-thinking. Great software that fills a vital niche for Windows systems.

    IDrive is incredibly faster than Acronis on cloud backup. After Acronis' failures on cloud storage I moved to IDrive for peace of mind. IDrive can also do local backups, and either variant of system state, server, outlook, exchange, etc. It does not however have the ability to do a full image of a bitlocked machine like Acronis, so I'm continuing the local imaging with Acronis.

    Scalability
    Acronis
    The Windows version is generally reliable and only ran into one issue thus far. Restores are easy and there are many features. On MacOS, it's a completely different story. There is significant resource leakage related to the updater app that can bog down part of a CPU core continuously until it is disabled. The mobile backup feature also needs to be disabled via UNIX command line or CPU usage will go up when a mobile device on the same network like an iPad or iPhone's screen is turned on.

    Return on Investment
    Acronis
    • Peace of mind - knowing that if anything happens to our data, we can recover it.
    • File Versioning has saved us a few times - we can grab prior versions of a particular file if there is a problem.
    • Reasonably priced - there are more comprehensive backup solutions out there, but for online backup, this was the right product for the right price.
