Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Valuable Features

IT
Group CIO at a construction company with 10,001+ employees

I love the solution for a number of reasons. Firstly, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides my company with an unlimited number of licenses and software products on the local area network, which no one in the market is offering apart from Acronis. If you buy 10 TB on the cloud, Acronis gives you free licenses on the cloud. Suppose you have an increasing number of users in your organization, and you need 12 to 15 TB on the cloud. In that case, Acronis gives you the option to have another copy on the ground, and such software on the ground is free of charge, which is beautiful and impacts the product's scalability features. The moment you decide some users to be on the cloud, it is easy, but it will take time, and it is meaningful for the product to take some time with the process. With only a click, you can have another copy for some users from the ground to the cloud.

The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services. Users find it easy to use without requiring extensive customer support for basic functions. Acronis offers secure data backup with added antivirus protection, making it a reliable choice. It's also notable for its flexibility, offering two models, per workload or per gigabyte, catering to various workstation needs and budget constraints. This unique feature is highly appreciated.

The usability is great.

Once you actually know what's happening, it's quite easy to move around. 

There are a lot of features that you do not really get with other backup software. For instance, continuing where you left off. In the case where you might get a network break or something, and the backup has to start again, it just leads to metadata changes and then basically carries on from where it left off instead of starting fresh from zero, which a lot of backup software does not support.

It's easy to set up. 

Technical support is great.

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. 

Also, it's very secure, as Acronis continuously evaluates the security side. The kind of security features they bring in are really good. The interface is very easy to use.

What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks. It's a security feature that lets you combat ransomware. If you have the active protection feature enabled for your workload, you won't have to worry even if your system gets attacked by ransomware.

We chose Acronis as our backup solution because of the diversity in the types of backups it can provide.

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.

It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. 

It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature.

It provides reliability and the confidence when a server disaster happens, that the product is actually doing what it says it's doing. For example, we have a backup of our servers. It's the only important thing in a backup software, at least for a company our size, is that we actually get our data backed.

Normally, I don't care how long it takes to get the data. It's important to a point, but ultimately, as long as the data comes back, that's all that we care about.

Acronis has curved out a really good name for themselves and they're a trusted backup software system, and it's mainly from reliability. That's the main reason why we use it. It lets you know if anything has gone wrong with the server. It'll email you.

They have online cloud support. Basically, it allows you to monitor multiple servers from one location, so they've their control panel/dashboard, which allows you to monitor more than one server. So, we've got three primary servers, then I use one of those as control dashboards to get in and go look at see what's going on with the other servers. It lets me call up programs real quick.

When you come in the morning, it will tell you if it made the night's backups the night before, which is really cool. You can do validation. That's one of the best features that's available with it: validations.

That means when you make a backup, they've got this thing where you can validate the backup and Acronis tells you whether or not the backup is valid. You're not just recording garbage. This would be one of the big advantages of using it. They have some centralized vaults and personal vaults, paid management, disk management, and mounted images. They allow you to make an ISO image of the server which you're working on.

A super big feature: If a server crashes, you just can't go back in there, because everything you've had on it crashed. So Acronis lets you create a CD. It's called an ISO CD. It's an imaging CD, and you drop that in the server. That lets you back into the server environment through Acronis to get Acronis set back up on that machine. This is what is critical to the whole thing, because you got to have a way back into the environment so that you can rebuild the server.

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. If you see all the other software in the marketplace, they are just backup solutions. But this product also offers security. With a single product, you get two benefits. It's also easy to deploy and easy to use, and they also provide continuous training.

There are many features I like such as the ability to run favourite scans multiply times a day. If the solution finds any malware, for example, it will do the actions automatically. This limits the amount of action a user needs to do. 

It is amazing how many ways you can do the recovery, you can recover by image, ISO, and files.

You can create a new VM, via the cloud, using the same image backup and network settings, that is very easy to configure

The Business Continuity Plan is all in one and easy to use, unlike competitors that require you to know more detail going forward. It is much more user-friendly.

The first valuable feature is the incremental backups which ensure that your information and products are always up to date. 

Secondly, there are many knowledge base articles that are detailed and make it is easy to troubleshoot when issues arise. 

Lastly, we have collaborated with the support team for more complex issues which can't be fixed by our team. In two to three weeks, they have helped us resolve these issues.

The solution is very easy to use. It's user-friendly.

The product offers very easy configuration capabilities.

It does what it's supposed to do. We needed a simple backup, and nothing too complex. If we need to recover data, we can recover it quickly. This is a very simple setup that works well for our purposes.

The reporting on the product has been good.

We've found the documentation very helpful.

The initial setup is very simple. It's one of the key reasons we chose the product.

The pricing of the solution is reasonable. We're quite happy with it.

We've been happy with the customization potential of the product.

The solution has good dashboards.

I would say compression, which was about 95% on the databases. The fact that the agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service. Therefore, I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT. I would only imagine how long will it take for them to do a QoS rule.
