Acronis delivers a reliable and efficient way to strengthen data resilience and maintain business continuity.

Pros

  • Ease of integration with M365 cloud

  • Would like to have better visibility into the space used by backup jobs
  • Greater distinction between full/incrementatl backup files

Acronis Backup is Top Tier.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis Cyber Protect Backup Advanced to back up our on-premises bare metal servers and virtual machine servers with the VMware vCenter server appliance. We back up 30 days of data per server.

Pros

  • Ease of set up.
  • Recovering past data from backup.
  • Cyber Protect console is user-friendly.

Cons

  • Not great information on why some backup schedules don't work on certain servers.
  • Cyber Protect console can be slow or not connect sometimes.
  • Getting information on adding different types of licenses can be improved.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works great as a cloud backup solution, and restoring data from a past backup is easy. If you need an easy-to-use cloud backup solution for some servers, I would recommend Acronis. If we had a need, I would use this to back up all of our computers as well. I am not too sure how it would handle backing up over 50 devices, though.

Acronis Cyber Protect Review

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a distributor who works with MSP's and provides Acronis Cyber Protect as a solution.

Acronis Cyber Protect is used for the backup of M365 which helps fulfill the shared responsibility requirements of Microsoft, to add to this Acronis Cyber Protect backup solution is more advanced and granular than competitors. This makes sure all M365 workloads are backed up and available for restore or disaster recovery. Acronis Cyber Protect also has backup for Google Workspace. This solutions covers both major productivity solutions.

Acronis Cyber Protect is also used to backup servers, VM's and workstations. Finally, security solutions by using XDR+ Email security to secure the IT environment and using workflow automations to automate the response and remediation in the case of an incident.

Pros

  • Backup of M365 and Google Workspace
  • Cybersecurity (email security, EDR, XDR, MDR)
  • Backup of servers, workstations and VM's
  • One stop shop for backup and security
  • Advanced user management portal with clen user interface and user experience

Cons

  • Backing up Sharepoint automatically backs up all users with access to Sharepoint even if the user is not needed to be backed up
  • Complex licensing structure
  • Needing to manually download workloads to move backups
  • Dormant users still backed up and incurring charges

Likelihood to Recommend

All in one platform (backup, security, patch management etc.) reducing the need for different vendors, ideal for businesses who want a single pane of glass. Good for MSPs and service providers due to automations tools, multi tenancy, and single platform.

Acronis Cyber Protect relies heavily on cloud connectivity for management and updates, may not be appropriate for environments needing strict isolation e.g. defense.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Integrated cybersecurity stands out against the other competitors. Acronis backup solution is something I did a lot of research about and compare it with the other backup solutions. The ability to implement email security, endpoint protection and remote management from a single console is great and makes the life much easier rather than logging in to different portals.

Pros

  • Backup
  • Email security.
  • Endpoint protection.

Cons

  • The onboarding can be simpler and fast.
  • Remote management can have added functionality.
  • PSA can also have more features.

Likelihood to Recommend

Acronis cyber protect is well suited for the small to medium businesses, the ability to turn on the end point protection and email security, MDR and RMM is great. It really helps to manage different services from the single console and get a single report instead on logging into different portals

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis Cyber Protect for backing up all production data to local on-prem storage and cloud storage. This addresses our Business Continuity and DR

Pros

  • Backup data to on-prem local storage
  • Backup data to cloud
  • Backup data across multiple sites
  • Backup data with multiple OS types

Cons

  • Sometimes backups take longer and we have to create multiple appliances to manage backups so they complete within 12 hours
  • Data doesn't get scanned for Malware when backing up
  • Solution isn't airtight like other products

Likelihood to Recommend

We have a specific type of Hyperconvergence Environment and Acronis does a great job of connecting to our hypervisor and managing our backup environment. Backup and Replication is fairly straight forward. I would recommend if you purchase Acronis Cyber Protect that you also invest in the Acronis Cloud storage and not a third party because you have full visibility into the cloud and data.

Cons

Well suited for backups of 365. On Prem backups work just fine. We have come into issues when we need to do a recovery and it takes time to provision . For instance barebone recovery.

Best data protection and cybersecurity tool

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Acronis Cyber Protect in our organization for data protection [Backup and DR] along with cybersecurity features to protect the systems from new-gen threats. We are also helping Partners and customers to solve their data protection and cybersecurity challenges via Acronis Cyber Protect software. Acronis Cyber Protect has many features integrated into a single console and solves multi-vendor, multi-license, and management complexity.

Pros

  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • EDR/EDR and ransomware protection
  • Vulnerability assessment and patch management
  • Remote desktop, cyber scripting

Cons

  • Device discovery and agent deployment in work group environment
  • KVM based backup recovery and multi-cloud backup recovery
  • Deep reporting options
  • More role based access control

Likelihood to Recommend

Great works when there is a disaster in the on-prem server. The server can run in a minuts to continue the business and recover to multiple destination options.

it is not much useful when recovering in a modified cloud environment like AWS, akamai. However, if, someone has great skill in linux it can be managed

Acronis Cyber Protect a reliable ally for IT continuity

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Acronis Cyber Protect is used for backing up specific, so-called critical PCs. It allows for hot backups of these machines. Acronis Cyber Protect also helps me easily create full system images while the PCs are powered off during their initial configuration. This approach is more relevant and effective than using Microsoft’s system restore points.

Pros

  • Full and incremental backup of a PC
  • offline system backup and restore
  • Virtualization of a PC from a backup

Cons

  • License management and the ability to create multiple subscription administrator accounts by enterprise groups are areas that could be improved. This would allow for better delegation of responsibilities and more flexible access control in large organizations.
  • That said, this functionality might already exist — I haven’t fully explored this aspect of the application management yet.

Likelihood to Recommend

Backup and restoration of entire systems, as well as data recovery from backup files.

A medium sized company has recently experienced a cyber attack. They have been able to restore their IT thanks to externalized back-ups, but it took 3 weeks to restore all the users' services. After the crisis, the CIO now thinks they need a DRP in order to improve their preparation to cyber risks. It is time to talk with him about DRP preparation and to meet Acronis Cyber Protect!
