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 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.

Chose ThreatLocker
Prior to buying ThreatLocker, we evaluated Tanium's whitelisting module. We felt that ThreatLocker's method of baselining existing applications and comparing them to known IoC's made for an easier implementation. To be fair, this was solely based on demonstrations by each …
Chose ThreatLocker
The pricing is what matters the most on this. We went with ThreatLocker mostly because of their pricing and as time has gone on, we have completely fallen in love with the tool. The vendor support is miles better than all other tools I have used and being able to freely …

I have tried WhiteCloud Security, Microsoft Application Whitelisting (AppLocker), and MalwareByte.

WhiteCloud Security is too complicated to use and setup.
Chose ThreatLocker

Acronis Cyber Protect CloudThreatLocker
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

If you want to know what is running in your environment and what it is trying to access, you should be able to take preemptive measures to prevent and protect yourself from it. ThreatLocker is the system for you! It will replace almost any EDR requirement, although I recommend you partner it with Windows Defender.

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.

  • Unused polices are nearly impossible to navigate due to no sorts or filtering options.
  • Redundant polices are impossible to determine.
  • Cannot view literally all policies for one organization in one view/list. Instead of have to check policies per device, group, or all machines.

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.

ThreaLocker has done its job and has prevented malware from executing. It has stopped an encryption process once already. It has kept a user from going to a bad website. He tried twice and was wondering why he was getting an error message from ThreatLocker and ESET both.

The console is very user friendly and is frequently updated based on user requests. It is well laid out and many of the areas allow the ability to pivot from one area to another without having navigate the entire menu tree. Much of what you do is to query activities on a given PC and the application allows you to save frequently run queries.

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.

You can email, call or do online chat with tech support. I love their online chat. They are quick and friendly. Also, if you need to show them something, you can give the chat technician permission from your Chat box to allow the tech access to your computer. They also can pull out your admin console on their side. They can look at your "Unified Audit" log and see the same thing that you can. They have a good KnowledgeBase that you can look for answers. They have what is called "ThreatLocker University" where you can go through tutorials and take tests.

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.

  • Applications that are new to the environment can be blocked even if they are wanted. Which can cause strain on the environment if not properly tuned or prepped.
  • We have this deployed onto around 7700 endpoints at this moment with less than 0.01% of issues with the agent or its functionality being noted. It's incredibly stable and the Vendor support further helps if it does break, and they can usually fix it without 15 mins.
  • We have had this tool on customers, and it has single handedly stopped Ransomware attacks by itself when the customers previous EDR failed to catch threat actor attacks. I can remember 3 separate instances where someone did something to cause an attack and ThreatLocker brought it to a screeching halt due to the application control and built-in ringfencing it provides.
