Considered Both Products
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Chose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
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.
Chose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Acronis Backup Cloud has more features than eFolder, and is less than 1/3rd of the cost. In terms of restores, it's faster than eFolder if you use the local component. The restoration component is much better than Carbonite's, which has a tendency to drop connection midway …
Chose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Acronis is a great solution and provides a flexible amount of ways to backup and restore data. For software, it competes directly with Carbonite, ShadowProtect, Veeam, and Veritas. Most of these solutions are agent based and require licenses for each. Acronis does a great …

Chose Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Acronis is by far much easier to configure and gain access to cloud resources. Acronis is cloud only whereas Veeam requires an on prem server. We tested both and have found that we were unable to accomplish our goals utilizing Veeam.

Carbonite Safe
Chose Carbonite Safe
The competitors offer a cloud solution, but in more of a clouded document management way. There is no way to live edit files with Carbonite Safe. Dropbox and OneDrive offer you the ability to open the file and use it from the cloud.
Chose Carbonite Safe
Ease of use. Carbonite Safe is superior when it comes to this. Again customer service. You can not beat their staff or technicians.
Chose Carbonite Safe
Carbonite Safe is the only one that I know of that is autonomous. The other solutions require the user to place things in a certain spot or to copy it manually. Carbonite Safe is "set it and forget it".
Chose Carbonite Safe
We originally used a backup product from Microsoft. It was so glitchy and difficult to set up. We spent a lot of time on the phone with their tech team trying to get it to work. They would come up with different reasons and fixes but in the end, it couldn't do the job so we …
Chose Carbonite Safe
Carbonite Safe is a great solution for startup entities. It ranks nicely with Acronis and Carbonite Server Backup. Carbonite Safe is very good for backing up workstations including home computers. This is a good solution for home office users. Acronis does image level backups …
Chose Carbonite Safe
We use Mozy in this client setting because he was more familiar with the user interface and workflow than the other products.
Chose Carbonite Safe
Amazon Cloud Drive deleted TONS of photos I backed up years ago. I'll never trust it again. I liked Dropbox better than Box b/c of its interface and intuitiveness. Google Drive is easy but doesn't back up automatically.
Chose Carbonite Safe
Mozy Pro is a great product for entry level and small businesses. It provides simple, effective backups with little to no technical expertise being required by the end users to benefit from it. I found that Code42's CrashPlan, was better when our storage needs increased …
Chose Carbonite Safe
Mozy was the easiest to administer and setup.
Chose Carbonite Safe
Mozy provides more enterprise features such as AD integration, but Crashplan has better plans when backing up large amounts of data. Additionally when restoring data, Crashplan displays file versions as a drill down on each file making it easy to find a specific version you are …
Chose Carbonite Safe
While Mozy Pro gets the job done, Cloudberry is better for business. Cloudberry provides backing up to Amazon Web services, however, requires a higher level tech set it up. Crashplan has also been great and is unlimited.
Chose Carbonite Safe
I have used different products such as Carbonite, Unitrends and Datto. Mozy is on a very similar level as Carbonite but has been more reliable overall from my experience. Unitrends and Datto have more complete products that offer a strong combination for local and cloud backup …
Chose Carbonite Safe
I haven't used any other products in the cloud backup market. We chose Mozy because at the time they had the most robust central management console. Pricing with Mozy was going to be cheaper in the long run. Brand recognition also had something to do with it.

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.

As described earlier I would warn prospective users of their past behavior in terms of changing plan structures regardless of impact to their customers. But they did provide an expedited method to migrate your data to other backup service providers, and their product is high quality so it balances out somewhat. With that in mind Mozy has positioned itself well for both the individual and the corporate markets, and works well in both environments. Their integration with AD and administrative features do make them attractive as a corporate tool (enterprise version). In the end though, especially for the individual or small business, it may come down to how much data you need backed up. Mozy is definitely not the cheapest option on the market

  • It is so easy to see what files are backed up according to the color dots next to the files. Green indicates backed up and brown indicates that it will be backed up on the next round.
  • We get email updates from Carbonite to help us stay current on our usage.
  • I am confident that our files are backed up and can be easily be recovered. I have been through the process and was able to regain just the files I needed.

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.

  • I would like to see backups for programs that I have installed on my machine. For instance I use Adobe CS6 and MS Office among other things. Instead of having to reinstall all these programs on my new machine, I would love for Mozy to be able to save the programs somehow and I can restore them as they were on the old machine with the same almost one-click process that I use to restore files. Basically like Time Machine, but for Windows.

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.

For the clients we have using this service, we fully plan to renew the subscription. However, that may change as our client's business grows and they have a need to add visualization and other server types to their environment

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.

I have not had to utilize Carbonite Safe support too often, but they have always been very good. There are very few technical issues so their support does not come in handy, unless one needs assistance with installation or setup. In cases when it is needed, my support tickets with Carbonite Safe have always gone well.

Mozy Pro is a great product for entry level and small businesses. It provides simple, effective backups with little to no technical expertise being required by the end users to benefit from it. I found that Code42's CrashPlan, was better when our storage needs increased dramatically, and users wanted a fresher interface than Mozy offered. We outgrew it, essentially. For small businesses, Mozy is tough to beat, but as you venture into the Enterprise market, Code42's product might be a better fit.

Return on Investment
  • We have been able to further develop our customerbase and and more MSP as our partners
  • Overall the recurring revenue coming from Acronis, will help us to increase revenue and margin, without investing in new hardware and save on energy-cost.
  • It is time consuming to implement Acronis into our system and train our employees. With this there is also cost involved, but we believe in the long-term investements we make here.

  • Mozy is very affordable and pricing is very flexible and easy to add more space when needed. This allows us to only pay for what we need.
  • Having our critical files protected is the most important thing. The fact that it doesn't cost much for us to do that is just a bonus.
