Google Recaptcha Frequently asked questions ### What makes Acronis Cyber Platform a better choice than Kaspersky? Kaspersky's exit from the MSP market signifies that it no longer offers a direct competing solution to Acronis Cyber Platform for MSPs. This withdrawal leaves a gap that Acronis can fill, providing MSPs with a comprehensive, integrated cloud protection solution. ### Does Acronis Cyber Platform offer any unique features that are not available in Kaspersky? Yes, Acronis Cyber Platform offers several unique features that differentiate it from Kaspersky, particularly since Kaspersky does not have a direct equivalent in the cloud space tailored for MSPs. Here are some of the unique aspects of Acronis Cyber Platform: * Integrated cybersecurity: Acronis includes advanced cybersecurity features with AI-based behavioral heuristics for real-time protection. * Unified management: It provides a unified management console that integrates backup, disaster recovery, anti-malware, and endpoint management, streamlining IT workflows. * Data sovereignty: With its extensive network of data centers worldwide, Acronis ensures data sovereignty by allowing data storage in specific regions as required by compliance regulations. * Acronis Active Protection: This feature specifically targets ransomware threats, offering real-time protection and automatic restoration of affected data, something that Kaspersky's traditional solutions do not provide. ### How does the recovery time following data loss compare between Acronis and Kaspersky? Acronis offers several features that can significantly reduce recovery time following data loss, compared to Kaspersky: * One-Click Recovery: Enables quick restoration to the last good state with minimal effort, reducing downtime. * Universal Restore: Enables recovery to dissimilar hardware, facilitating seamless system migrations and ensuring business continuity, even when original hardware is not available. * Security features: Provides recovery to malware-free points, ensuring clean, secure restoration after cyberattacks. These features, including ease of use, flexibility in recovery to new hardware, and enhanced security, position Acronis as a strong choice for organizations prioritizing rapid and secure recovery processes. ### How do Acronis and Kaspersky compare in terms of cloud backup capabilities? Acronis differentiates itself from Kaspersky with a vast network and adaptable storage solutions: * Global Reach: Acronis operates over 50 secure cloud data centers globally, ensuring data safety, availability and compliance with local laws, which enhances disaster recovery and performance. * MSP flexibility: Acronis caters to MSPs by offering partner-hosted storage options, enabling them to use their own infrastructure to utilize Acronis's backup services, which is advantageous for those needing customized data management and compliance. ### How do Acronis and Kaspersky compare in terms of ransomware protection capabilities? Acronis is integrating cybersecurity features directly into its backup solutions, including advanced ransomware protection. Acronis Active Protection uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to detect and stop ransomware in real time, and automatically restores any affected files. This proactive approach not only prevents the ransomware from causing damage but also ensures minimal downtime by avoiding the need for extensive recovery processes. While both Acronis and Kaspersky offer ransomware protection, Acronis emphasizes real-time threat detection and automatic restoration, positioning itself as a more proactive solution.
