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 its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"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."
"The setup is very easy."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"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."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup Cloud is the ease of management."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"It does not delete locked files."
"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."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"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."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"Slow response from technical support."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"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."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup. I do appreciate the way the product is easy to navigate, however, sometimes I have difficulty managing the security permissions on my backups."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
