Acronis Cyber Protect Other Advice
It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with.
I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Due to the delayed support from the solution's technical team, I have deducted two points from my rating. As a result, I rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Acronis Cyber Protect works brilliantly for us with respect to data backup.
I'm the primary backup resource. I have one screen specifically for Acronis Cyber Protect that allows me to switch between multiple sites. We do 15 sites at a time. What's nice about the front end is that I could do things and go on and do other similar work and go back to the automated side of it.
The system is very smart and intuitive when it comes to that. I can just click and forget that thing. I can go back later, verify, ensure everything is as I expected, and just continue my work.
The biggest issue for me is the fact that Acronis Cyber Protect is actually a Windows-based system that's supported by Linux SUSE. Most of the solution's user cases and documentation pertain specifically to Windows. So, I have to take what I can see from the Windows side and apply it to how Windows works versus Linux, and then a lot of my problems are resolved by reading Windows.
I also understand that the solution's primary clients are Microsoft-based. It makes sense that most of the solution's documentation will be for Windows because most of its clients run Windows. Finding the right notes for the Linux side has been the only issue. Over the last five years, I've learned what to look for, and then I can take what's written for Windows and work from there.
We currently use the solution on a private cloud because it's a closed-network client directive. Within the next 12 to 18 months, we will probably move some of the features directly into the cloud because we are switching many of our hosts to AWS.
I would recommend the solution to other clients because it's very easy to install, configure, and maintain. I would recommend any software based on its ease of installation and support. Acronis Cyber Protect is very easy to install and get support. There are several resources, and the engineers are brilliant.
If you were to bring in an external resource, the learning curve isn't as intensive as a more problematic or complex system. The front end is very intuitive and easy to learn. I know this because I've trained two different teams to use the solution's front end. The solution is very easy to teach people and to learn.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

When comparing to other vendors, based solely on my knowledge of their names as I haven't worked with them directly, I recall trying out the trial console of Barracuda, which seems somewhat similar. Barracuda was one of the pioneers in cloud-to-cloud solutions, whereas Acronis followed suit later on and wasn't initially a leader in this field. Acronis used to sell storage separately, which was considered a drawback, especially when you had to estimate how much storage your users would require. However, they have since introduced unlimited agent licensing, which addressed this issue. Another major player in backup, Veeam, initially followed a similar approach of providing your storage or purchasing it separately from cloud providers like Azure or AWS. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

We started using this solution because it was recommended by a German company called Siemens.
We no longer use Acronis Backup but we wanted to at that time continue with it. However, Acronis did not want to listen to us to enable us more possibilities for us to consider them. Their response was very cold. We looked into other companies, such as Veeam and Cohesity and we went with Veeam.

With all the new features being added, the solution is becoming heavy in its use of resources. It's important to be aware of that because it affects the running of some applications. And that's not good because if you implement a security solution, you have to make it safer.
The concepts are there but the execution is not that good so I would rate it a seven out of 10.
Watch out for that “Skip bad sectors” setting if you plan on running this software unattended. Don't hesitate to call Acronis support. They will be ready and willing to help you right away.
The software warned Windows 7 Embedded was not supported, yet the backup/restore still worked despite the warning I was given.
It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive. We just pop in the hard drive and that's very fast as well. Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features.

View full review »I would definitely recommend Acronis to those who are starting out on the backup and recovery or want to migrate to and are looking for a fine-grain and stable solution. The good part is that you can still have the backup on the cloud. So, that would also take care of your offsite backup.
I don't have many comparison points. Based on whatever experience I've had on Acronis, I would rate it a nine out of 10.
View full review »The last job I did, I recommended this solution for a modest-sized building company. Their yearly revenues are about $30 million, so they're not a little remodeling contractor. They're building new homes but they're not a big company with hundreds of people, either. They asked me to come in and help them automate their office. They were not doing backups of anything, so they had their whole accounting system on a 10-year old computer with no backup. When I looked at it I said, "Here is a disaster waiting to happen." I set this all up for them.
I do have to go back there and see that it's all working, but it was all working when I left, assuming they didn't disrupt it somehow. I was very happy with how it worked for them. An experienced IT professional could bring this up without any help just by reading the documentation because it's very good. Anyone who isn't an IT professional should hire somebody to figure this out because the documentation is written at a high level. I'm talking about the corporate product, by the way, which I assume is what you're interested in.
For the small construction company, I didn't need the corporate product because they don't have a server, so I used the home product. The home product is much easier to use than the corporate, because the corporate has a lot more choices and things that are squeezed together. The single product they sell for home use they’ve kind of separated from the business one. It's a little bit more complicated and so you have to know how to drive it.
But, my main piece of advice is to hire someone who has either done this before or, at a minimum, is smart enough to read the documentation and set it up for you. My second piece of advice is, move into this in a sensible way. Get it up and running on one server and one workstation and see that you can manage it. Once you've got that working, then add more workstations or more servers to that. It is a solution that, assuming all of your servers are in one place or your workstations are all in the same network, you can run all of your backups - you can run them all - from one place.
In a larger organization, I would say you want to have a workstation that's identified to do this, and you have maybe several people with access to that workstation so they can manage these backups. It has a very good interface. I can see the status of every computer that I'm backing up; it shows me where it is. It shows me when the last backup was done, and if one is in progress. It also shows me the percent completion. I can go in there and click on somebody's computer and say, back it up now.
I can't think of anything that I would add to it. As far as what I need to do, I wouldn't add a thing.
It is perfect for small- to medium-sized business installations. I don't know for a large installation. By large, I mean more than a hundred computers. From what I've seen so far, I could easily manage the backups for five servers and 95 workstations without any problems at all. In my past experience, before such products were available, backing up individual workstations was a nightmare. 20 years ago, there was no way to do this kind of thing. You had to go around to each computer and run a backup. We had IT support staff running around form one computer to another and setting up the backups. Then the owner of the computer would decide, "Oh, my computer is running too slow. Oh, it's running a backup, I don't wanna do that," so they would kill it and then they wouldn't get any more backups. It's just having this level of automation I would consider to be essential. I think they've done a good job at that.

We are currently testing the new version, 15. Based on our experience, we have been providing input to their pre-sales team, and the feedback was taken back to the management. Now, everything seems to be running fine.
For example, in the new version, they have more protection options for malware, and they have additional tools to assist the IT administrator in controlling the network. These including things like management tools for remote desktops and vulnerability management.
Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems.
Nothing is perfect and gets a full mark. We have faced some issues, although the support is strong and they take issues seriously. They don't let our customers get upset at the product, and they have solved all of the problems that we have faced.

View full review »Acronis now includes a feature called Cyber Protect, which performs anti-malware scanning and protects everything on your system. It can also check for Microsoft patches and helps you to stay updated and protected. It has a very accurate disk health monitor that could warn you of imminent drive failure. It also protects the integrity of your online backups against ransomware. From start to finish, not only does it protect your hard drive, it protects the integrity of the backups as well.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. You might require assistance to create backup plans and to link them to backup agents, and also for the fact that it doesn't have the ability work without a mouse.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is that they are a well-known product, and you can find a lot of information about it online if you search the knowledge base and forums. There are a lot of people who have a lot of experience with it. In fact, the biggest lesson that I have learned from using it is that if I run into problems then I can find answers by searching the internet.
Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward. The user interface is easy to understand, except for the trouble we have when it comes to reading the error messages.

I'd check what the program doing, and I check Acronis do it, and the same point.
Nobody referred me to or gave me information about Acronis. I found it on the internet, and I start to read what the Acronis is capable of doing.
The way I chose Acronis is easy, because I saw a few demos that showed me how the program works.
So, with that showing, or that demo, that's why we chose Acronis.
It's really important that people have, for example, those videos or that information visually, because --

If you don't want to run everything off of the cloud because you're concerned that Acronis Cloud might go down for days, Acronis Backup is a good option. It is an on-premises solution. However, it's a legacy version and is not really Acronis' mainstream product.

I would tell potential users that Acronis has more solutions for different environments. You can get information from servers that don't use Windows and use other operating systems like Linux and Ubuntu. You can recover it in the cloud, and you can start a virtual machine. You can synchronize information. You've got a lot of features that the other solutions require you to install locally. It's very easy to use.
Technical support really isn't necessary in many cases because it's very intuitive, and it's not complex to resolve problems. If you want to get more information, you can find it on the Acronis site or the internet. You can resolve most of the little problems on your own.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Acronis Backup a ten.

I would recommend the solution, however, whether it's suitable or not would be based on each individual company's requirements.
A simple customer likely just needs their user backups to be stored in a server or a remote location. Price-wise, Acronis is best suited for that. However, if a customer needs more features that may include more than just the backups or sync, there are other options. That said, Acronis does have lots of features.

It's best to go full cloud or even purchase the storage from Acronis rather than having an on-premises install where you have to purchase advanced licenses, only to go to the cloud. That is the challenge that I had with Actifio.
They provide you with regular training for partners.
The very first person that I interacted with was the local distributor. They were knowledgeable it was obvious that they had continuous training.
You are free to install this software on any hardware that you have, the challenge is the hardware itself, such as the media server with Commonvault. There is one called Quorum, which uses the OnQ operating system. They dictate the type of hardware you install in your backup, just like the DPS in Dell EMC. That way you don't run into issues with support.

We've had some problems since we've implemented their system. We've actually had hardware problems with some of our servers. We have never had a backup fail because of the software. And even when we had a hardware problem, once we got it solved, their backup solution immediately kicked back in and started working. I don't have any complaints about it.
I just feel, like always, implementation and, sometimes, user interfaces could be a little bit easier, more straightforward. But I haven't used any of these products, either this one or its competitors, that I didn't feel that way about it.

View full review »I would say it's not a steep learning curve, but there's a learning curve, learning how you want it set up, because of the amount of options that you're given. It's good that you have a lot of different options. It's also bad that you have a lot of different options, because it is really easy for you to be able to make a selection that's not going to optimize your backup solution. So, I would say that as long as you know what you need, and you're familiar with the software, then you should not have many problems, with a little bit of learning/reading about the app before you use it.
I would say Acronis is about nine out of 10, overall. Some documentation or some wizards that would help you through the process, especially if you're new to the software, would benefit. I'm never going to give anybody a 10, so nine would be a 10, because everything can be improved. I don't believe in a 10.

I would rate Acronis Backup an eight out of ten. It's one of those products that probably needs an overhaul because it's kind of evolved over time and sometimes when you evolve things, you end up in a hole. It's probably about time for them to sit back and realize that they've made all this functionality and made all these changes so they should go back.
Also, managing the product is difficult. As a partner, it's difficult to manage our end-user clients because there's no single dashboard where we can go and see our clients and manage them individually. You have to set up an individual setup for each client, which is a bit frustrating.
I would like to see improvements for people that are probably doing an MSP type of approach, managed service providers so that they had a much simpler way to view their end-user situations.

It's not complex but it is necessary that IT or the user has definite idea of what they want from backup system.
View full review »I'd say test it out. It's so easy to use.
View full review »I think you need to look into business requirement especially when implementing the backup system and make sure the backup software that you buy is 100% fully capable and 100% fully supportive.
View full review »The product is good but using it on Linux is a bit difficult.
I would recommend it to any company that wants to implement a low cost solution.
View full review »This is a great product. When evaluating different products it is important to test the recovery from backup. Acronis provided better recovery from backup options than some other products that we evaluated.
Since the experience was quite an old one, the advice would be outdated as well. :)

View full review »As far as I know , acronis is multiplatform destination support, but as I said, working with Acronis is much easier that Symantec. You may get confused most of the time when using Symantec. I used Acronis for network storage.

I bought this software for backup of workgroup based computers and it worked great for them.
Scheduling was quite easy and the recovery process was awesome.
Due to some power failure our 10 systems crashed which were recovered in few minutes by the Acronis recovery partition.
However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level.

it's better to search for a solution from among the top vendors. Acronis is one of them. In any environment you need a backup solution and protection for disaster recovery. You need to use a solution to back up your servers and Active Directory, etc. Acronis is quite a good solution for that.
The most important criteria when selecting a vendor are the vendor's reputation and the quality of the solution.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is packed with drive imaging and file base backup features. It is capable of protecting both physical and virtual servers with its flexible policy based management.

One of the best data recovery tools available in the market. However, the installation consumes a lot disk space(1GB+), which results in slower system performance. It also lacks a Virus Scanning facility. Note that systems with Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) are not currently supported. It supports network based data backup and recovery, however network recovery quite often crashes the application.
