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.

Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"It does not delete locked files."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
