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.
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"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."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"Slow response from technical support."
"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."
