Acronis Cyber Backup Reviews

Can backup phisical servers and virtual server quickly

Sometimes, backup works has block my servers and support team never discover why

Web interface is great, server features are easily backed up, etc... Exchange backups are "ok" and usually work.

I'm not getting all the notifications we have set to show failures. I'm having failures backing up Exchange 2016 mailboxes, support is VERY slow (read like... 1 week between email replies) and definitely not US based. Sometimes they can help, but I've often given up on issues because it's just too rough of an experience.

Acronis Cyber backup has easy initial setup and many agents for integrating various platforms and operating systems. It can backup files, databases and the entire virtual machines.

The cloud backup feature is limited to Acronis Cloud, and if would be nice to see other Cloud providers platforms , be available to use.

The most useful features of Acronis Cyber Backup are the backup itself along with the security features like malware protection, ransomware protection and vulnerability assessment.

There is hardly anything to dislike about Acronis Cyber Backup. In fact, they frequently roll out features that resolve any limitations they may have.

We use Acronis Backup on our company's computers mostly to protect our systems from ransomware, because backup is not enough anymore. If the computer gets infected with ransomware the backup files will be uploaded encrypted too. That's why we prefer Acronis Backup because it has ransomware defender. One useful feature that we use very often with our customers is Acronis Universal Restore because it allows to restore a system to dissimilar hardware, which is a feature that many customers with custom systems cannot setup the OS from the beginning in case of computer upgrade or computer failure.

It may be slower in older computers. Other than that Acronis Backup is perfect, it offers security features that cover modern requirements and technologies.

- Desktop software is easy to download, install and navigate.
- Incremental Backups/Backup scheduling option - you can back up by the hour, weekly, monthly. Just set it and it backups automatically
- Generous storage packages - 500 GB - 1TB - you can upgrade if you need more storage.
- Email notifications - lets me know when a backup was successful/unsuccessful
- Backups are fast

Lack of 2FA for security purposes - This is definitely a must have in the era of hacking.
Wasn't happy about the online UX - could be organized better - doesn't seem to be "beginner" friendly. Would appreciate if it's UX was inline with the desktop software UX.
Desktop software tends to lag a bit when moving from one tab to the other. Would be nice if it operated smoother.
No option for unlimited storage.

The software is easy to use, versatile and has many useful options. I run back-ups to an external hard drive and a NAS, also I use it for protection against ransomware. It works quite well in the background and gives me the option to restore files and more when there is a problem. Also, I like the option to be able to restore an image to different hardware

Customer support could be better. Recently I send in a question about an error. I got the request to send in a log file and screenshots, and then a couple of days later, I receive the solution to install the latest update. Which, of course, I already had. After I informed the same person of having previously installed the most recent update, then he sent me the request to send log files and screenshots again. That is one example, but my experience is that the support often works like this. Also, they can ask me for information, schedule a remote control session (which in itself is quite nice), and do exactly what we already discussed themselves. They are but not always very efficiënt.

You can do many types of backup like incremential backup and split it in many files to make it easier to transfer it

No support to backup on the same drive or create an disk image like iso or a virtual machine for vmware or virtualbox

This software has ALL of the features you could ever want in a backup and security system. Scheduling Incremental, Full backup, and Differential Backup and maintaining removal of old backups so space is always available. Bare metal restores from full and Incremental backups. Has wake on Lan so the PC can sleep.

Complicated to install, but no brainer for workstation user once set up.

Acronis backup is something I have been using for years. I switched to it after using another major Vendor's backup solution after it became very costly. Acronis has only become better over the years. Their agents deploy nicely to servers, the workstation backups are flexible, and they have a Mac client.

The only downside I see is that their cost for their online backup is a bit high. If you catch a sale or discount then it isn't too bad.

We have implemented Acronis backup tools in many customers with the purpose of automating workstation and server backup processes. Acronis is consistent in the scheduled tasks and provides a reliable backup (and recovery) solution for organizations of different sizes. On a personal note, I have also used the Acronis Ransomware Protection Tool which is free and a great resource for protecting against the loss of important files. Their software tools, in general, are easy to use with a friendly and intuitive user interface.

Setting up the business tools takes some time and requires attention to detail. You can easily misconfigure important tasks if you are not careful.

Acronis has been my personal backup software of choice for my own office for several years, it has a huge degree of configurability, could look for in a backup product.

I find that it does though, require some degree of technical awareness to configure and utilize properly

Interface can be intimidating and /or confusing, for less technically proficient and users. Can present them with too many options and choices.

I really like the software as far as dependability and reliability. I've used this software on multiple platforms for over a decade, one of the most respected names in my mind when it comes to backup/recovery solution providers.

The cost of the server platform and the feature set it offers for that price point is really expensive. But compared to other providers like Veeam it does a much better job and is dependable.

The layout of the interface was decent. I was able to customize it to use it for our company with branding. It did give notifications of failed backups on a regular. I was able to easily see what was backed up and when it was backed up.

I thought the pricing is a bit high. I am not sure if it was because I went through a vendor to purchase and deploy this but there were quite a bit of limitations of what I could do as an admin and user. For instance, I was not able to have 2 admins share the same interface and get notifications. Only one of the admins were able to get notifications. Again, I'm not sure if this was because our vendor did not set it up right.

Ease of use - nice Interface and huge data storage options

I assumed to be safe with all my data - had to learn that Acronis can't solve the Isse to have my data available from their cloud system since month now .... some customer service people do their best - but escalation and a support from the management is not available in this organisation

Easy to use, easy to set backups and have multiple start at different times of the day. I have many hard drives that need to be backed up on a daily basis as to not lose important client information. Acronis does all I need!

You are able to backup or clone full system drives so that you do not loose any information if you disk is starting to fail

The disk to disk clone feature is not always very stable and sometime does not work and you have to resort to imaging the drive and then restoring it on another drive. More time consuming

We use Acronis for our server backups taking full disk and incremental images. Works well and has saved us from disaster.

I have experienced no cons with Acronis backup software and am very happy with it, perhaps it is my favorite software.
