The endpoint protection is fantastic. Being able to recover a single file on the fly has saved many customers hours of frustration. Long term recovery of O365 data has worked well. I bit more difficult but not Acronis Advanced Backup issue, it has been MS issues. Nothing beats on premise backup / recovery speed but, when it is not available, Acronis Advanced Backup gets the job done for bare metal recovery.

Excellent tool to create computer backup routines through automation by date, time and actions. Backups are not lost and updates are added to the file total. The centralized platform allows managing and also monitoring all computers and analyzing incidents and attempted attacks. This reduces our team's time and makes it easier to handle security incidents more efficiently. We really like the restore feature that can recover a computer in case of any kind of software failure or attack. It's fast and effective. The backup is all in the cloud and is stored in the AVG cloud with AES 256bit encryption and security. Anyway, I can say that it is a cost-effective tool that fulfills the promise but loses in the technical support that needs to be improved.

Cons
  • They do not sell their product directly, so a reseller is needed - or third party website to process payments for them in order to download the product suite.
  • They have done away with stand-alone software purchases, and have moved to a yearly subscription-based model. It's affordable, but you never truly "own" the software now.

They recently raised the pricing for backup usage and our price has nearly doubled. It is still lower than some other vendors, but we might review other options before renewing next year.

Support has been helpful when we have had to reach out. We have not had to contact support that much so I do not have much feedback on them. I met the support team at the Cyber Summit and they are all very nice, smart individuals.

Alternatives Considered
Sophos has an excellent product. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, though provides the true integration with other security products and 3rd part systems that we need. In addition, the ability to secure the backups and scan for issues is a great benefit.
