"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The pricing is fine."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"It does not delete locked files."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."

"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."

"I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users."

"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
