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 licensing model is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"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."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
 

Cons

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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 Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
