User Testimonials
	Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud	Watchguard Endpoint Security
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. Ken Johnson President Read full review	We offer Watchguard Endpoint Security as a low cost alternative to Sophos Endpoint. As such, I would recommend this product to anyone with a customer with that same sort of mindset. It would also be appropriate for customers with a more 'basic' environment as configuring profiles is far less in depth compared to Sophos. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Local backup to local encrypted and protected hard drives Cloud backups of files, folders, or entire machines Vulnerability assessment of systems Antivirus and content filtering Remote control of systems Integration with Connectwise and other RMM and MSP tools Replacement that's better than Dropbox or Google drive Incentivized GK Guy Kittelson CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	It does an excellent job of detecting and preventing threats It uses global intelligence to reduce the time and effort I need to spend performing security operations It is lightweight and easy to deploy to client computers using a single agent for all modules Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	As with any application of this nature, it can block processes or other suspected security risks that are actually safe. While easy to use, it sometimes provides less learning opportunities for less experienced staff who are not as well-versed in these applications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I will definitely renew the software licenses on all our clients when they expire.Again, I have never worked so well with antivirus software before today. Watchguard is an extremely adaptable software to our business needs and I don't think I want to try other solutions that the market offers Incentivized CS Corrado Santucci Senior Information Technology Audit Manager Read full review
Usability	Overall, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is powerful and effective. The platform has user-friendly features and a centralized dashboard that simplifies management across multiple clients. This platform integrates backup, recovery, and security features effectively, all in one. It makes our lives easier. Josue Ruiz Business Development Manager Read full review	Easy and intuitive MSP management portal to manage all of your clients from a single pane of glass. Policies can be pushed down globally or individually based on needs. The client portal allows access to their tenant information and installs only which is nice if you are working with clients who might have an internal person or an IT team that also wants access to things to manage themself. Incentivized BP Brian Powell CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	The software is 100% managed on a cloud platform that can be managed via an account even if they are not present within the company network where the software is installed, I even always opened the control panel on the browser of my smartphone to monitor the situation.I have never experienced any abnormal software crashes Incentivized CS Corrado Santucci Senior Information Technology Audit Manager Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	The only annoyance I complain, if we want to be picky, is the fact of the constant disconnections from the control panel.Every about 4 hours the account logs out even if I set the "remember this device" flag; having said that I have not noticed neither slowdowns nor conflicts with other software Incentivized CS Corrado Santucci Senior Information Technology Audit Manager Read full review
Support Rating	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. Incentivized JN jesse nanes Systems Engineer Read full review	I gave it a 10 because I compare it to air conditioning. I need it to work every day, 24/7. I need it to be reliable and not something that requires a ton of interaction from staff to make sure it works every day. In addition, I should be able to run other things at my house when the AC is on. Panda fits that description. Mike Narumiya President, Principal Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	Trainer was excellent, knew this product in-depth. Incentivized Krzysztof Wisniewski Senior Systems Engineer Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	The training was very helpful. It demonstrated how to configure the service for initial install, items to monitor, and how to set up for ongoing protection. Hands on training is more helpful but this is a good starting point Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Implementation shouldn't present any problems in standard office environments. In environments with development teams, however, caution is needed. If zero trust is enabled, mechanisms must be in place to ensure that internal software isn't classified as a false positive (software certificate, exception folder, etc.) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Brent Sadler President/CEO Read full review	Way back in the day, I have used Norton end point security and really did not like the speed at which it tried to do its job. I know I am dating myself here. WatchGuard Endpoint Security, I feel, is light years ahead of Norton's product. WatchGuard Endpoint Security is FAST, ACCURATE, and truly an enterprise product. Incentivized JP James Parker I.T. Admin. Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	With the implementation of watchguard (at the beginning Panda Endpoint, but it is the same) I was able to insert in the control panel all the unauthorized software previously installed by colleagues without any authorization from the various department heads.Now any licensed software goes into lockdown and can be unlocked from the control panel Incentivized CS Corrado Santucci Senior Information Technology Audit Manager Read full review
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. Barber Brinkman Sr Business Developer Read full review	By committing to go all in on Watchguard Advanced EPDR across our whole client base, we maximized our price position - enabling us to offer the best endpoint security at a price better than what lesser competitive products cost. Leveraging Watchguard Endpoint Security as part of our unified platform strategy provides better integrated security, managed through Watchguard's cloud architecture. This significantly reduces our cost to deploy, manage, and support our client's. Our improved security offering, better delivery, and stronger price position has helped us achieve 56% growth in our managed services business over the past 18-months. Organizations that have disparate cyber security products often require specialists for each solution in their stack. Watchguard provides outstanding training resources that equip our entire technical staff - significantly improving our service delivery while lowering our overall cost of business.
