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 most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The reporting can be improved."
"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."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
