Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The setup is very easy."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
 

Cons

"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."
"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
