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

"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
 

Cons

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"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

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
