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.
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Technical support is great."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"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."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"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."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"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 reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"The solution should increase its security features."
