AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Azure Backup excels in user satisfaction, boasting a higher overall score compared to Acronis Cyber Protect. Users appreciate its intuitive usability, making routine backups of virtual machines and SQL databases straightforward and efficient.
- According to verified reviews, Azure Backup's implementation process is notably smooth, with many users highlighting the easy initial setup that facilitates a seamless transition from previous providers. In contrast, Acronis Cyber Protect, while also user-friendly, has not received recent feedback indicating the same level of ease in setup.
- Users say that Azure Backup is particularly effective for managing backups of both virtual machines and file shares, with one reviewer noting that once the schedule is set, it operates reliably as expected. Acronis Cyber Protect, on the other hand, is praised for its integration of backup and disaster recovery, but some users may find it less focused on specific use cases like virtual machine backups.
- Reviewers mention that Azure Backup provides a higher quality of support, with users rating it positively for its responsiveness and helpfulness. In comparison, while Acronis Cyber Protect also offers support, some users feel it could improve in this area, as indicated by slightly lower satisfaction scores.
- G2 reviewers highlight that Azure Backup is particularly strong in its performance for virtual machines, receiving high ratings in this category. Acronis Cyber Protect, while competitive, tends to shine more in areas like local/cloud solutions and endpoint protection, which may appeal to users with different needs.
- According to recent user feedback, Azure Backup is favored for its ease of configuration and management, making it a solid choice for small data backups. Acronis Cyber Protect, while also easy to use, is noted for its additional features, such as creating live disks for offline tasks, which may be beneficial for users looking for more comprehensive solutions.
