Frequently asked questions

  • What makes Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud a better choice than Trend Micro?

    Trend Micro no longer provides a unified MSP platform that directly competes with 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 Protect Cloud offer any unique features that are not available in Trend Micro?

    Yes, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud 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.
