Overall Satisfaction with Acronis Cyber Protect

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 and Cons

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

Return on Investment

Peace of mind that data is backed up
Good alerting for job completion/failure
Good and timely support from Acronis team

This product a solid product to use in our current environment. Great support. The cost is on the high side, but manageable. This product integrates well with our Scale Computing HyperConvergence solution. I feel that there are other products out there coming into the realm and expanding their reach in the backup market providing my organization more backup solution options. I hope that Acronis continues to evolve their product and stay in competition with the to solution providers.

Alternatives Considered

Veeam Data Cloud Vault

Veeam is a strong product and is now an option for my organization to acquire. Veeam has been around for many years and is very competitive when it comes to Backup solutions

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.
