Milan - April 26, 2017 - Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and storage, today announced the latest product benchmarking report conducted by MRG Effitas, an independent UK-based IT security research firm offering a wide range of efficiency verification and assurance services. The report proved that Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation is the most advanced consumer backup solution in terms of ransomware protection, performance, usability and features.
MRG Effitas compared Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation, CrashPlan Home 4.8.0, EaseUS TODO Backup Home 10.0, Genie Timeline Home 2016, IDrive 6.5.1.23, Macrium Reflect Home 6.3.1655, NovaBACKUP 18.5 Build 926 and Paragon Backup and Recovery 16.The result is an extensive 2017 report entitled "MRG Effitas Comparative Assessment of Data Protection / Backup Products on Protection, Performance, and Usability". .
The report isolated Acronis True Image as the only solution that protected data from all tested ransomware threats, thanks to the innovative Acronis Active Protection ™ technology released earlier this year.
“Of all the products we tested, only Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation was able to protect backups from all tested ransomware families,” states the final conclusion of the report. "The other solutions basically offer zero backup protection when it comes to ransomware ... Based on the tests, only the Acronis backup file is protected by the tested ransomware."
“Currently, ransomware poses a great risk to end users, businesses and government agencies. Anti-malware technologies cannot offer 100% protection against this class of threats. This test shows that anyone who relies on a backup solution to reduce the risks posed by ransomware in the event of the failure of their anti-malware technology should not assume that it is effective without verification by an independent third party. " Chris Pickard, CEO of MRG Effitas.
This was not the only discovery that pointed to the Acronis solution as the optimal choice. According to MRG Effitas, Acronis True Image finished first in 18 out of 24 performance tests and when it didn't win, it finished second.
“These results confirm our internal testing,” said John Zanni, Acronis CMO. “Acronis True Image is the fastest home backup solution on the market and the only product that can protect itself and your data from ransomware. The same anti-ransomware technology is currently being rolled out across the entire range of our enterprise products and we will continue to invest in research and development to make data protection fast, easy and complete - for everyone.
