Google Recaptcha Frequently asked questions ### What makes Acronis Cyber Platform a better choice than Trend Micro? Trend Micro no longer provides a unified MSP platform that directly competes with Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud). While Trend Micro continues to offer robust endpoint security, its solutions lack the integrated, cloud-based MSP features that Acronis delivers. This creates an opportunity for MSPs to benefit from a comprehensive, all-in-one cloud protection solution. ### Does Acronis Cyber Platform offer any unique features that are not available in Trend Micro? Yes, Acronis Cyber Platform differentiates itself with several unique features: * **Integrated cybersecurity**: Advanced protection with AI-based behavioral heuristics for real-time threat detection. * **Unified management**: A single management console that combines backup, disaster recovery, anti-malware, and endpoint management to streamline IT workflows. * **Data sovereignty**: Access to over 50 secure cloud data centers globally, ensuring compliance with local data storage requirements. * **Acronis Active Protection**: Real-time, AI-driven defense against ransomware that automatically restores affected files—something Trend Micro’s traditional endpoint solutions do not natively offer. ### How does the recovery time following data loss compare between Acronis and Trend Micro? Acronis offers features designed to significantly reduce recovery time, such as: * **One-Click Recovery**: Quickly restores systems to the last known good state. * **Universal Restore**: Allows recovery on dissimilar hardware, ensuring business continuity even when original equipment is unavailable. * **Secure Recovery Points**: These capabilities mean that Acronis can often achieve faster and more secure recovery compared to traditional solutions like those from Trend Micro. ### How do Acronis and Trend Micro compare in terms of cloud backup capabilities? Acronis stands out with its robust cloud backup solutions: * **Global Reach**: With a network of over 50 secure data centers worldwide, Acronis ensures high availability and compliance with local regulations. * **MSP flexibility**: Offers partner-hosted storage options, allowing MSPs to leverage their own infrastructure while using Acronis’s backup services. In contrast, Trend Micro’s focus remains on endpoint protection, and it does not offer a directly comparable cloud backup solution. ### How do Acronis and Trend Micro compare in terms of ransomware protection capabilities? Both companies provide ransomware protection, but Acronis integrates this functionality directly into its backup solution: * **Proactive Threat Detection**: Acronis Active Protection uses AI and machine learning to detect ransomware in real time. * **Automatic Restoration**:In the event of a ransomware attack, Acronis can automatically restore affected files from secure recovery points, minimizing downtime. Trend Micro offers strong endpoint security; however, its traditional model does not provide the same level of integrated, automated recovery that Acronis offers.
