We performed a comparison between Acronis Backup and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Because Acronis Backup offers significantly less functionality, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud ultimately wins out in this comparison.
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"We like the backup functionality."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"It provides quick backup recovery."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"The solution should increase its security features."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
