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.

Secure backups have simplified compliance and now provide immutable protection for cloud workloads
The best features that Clumio offers are the ability to know when a backup has completed, to know how to restore both files at the file level and also restore EBS backups, point-in-time restores, as well as snapshots. Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up. This peace of mind has translated into measurable outcomes as we adhere to NIST 800 compliance, and with that, we need immutable backups and the ability to have backups that do not exist within our existing tenants. Clumio fixes that problem for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Our customers are impressed with the scalability and richness of the different functions."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Upon discovering Acronis, I was fascinated by the flexible granular detailed features of 'what to and where to (multiple locations)' backup and its central management capabilities as opposed to Windows' local system administration."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"<p>Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up.</p>"
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
 

Cons

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."
"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"The product isn't very scalable."
"The technical support is less than average."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"I have had an issue at times with support, because they weren't able to get to me and I've had to call back after an hour or so, but other than that, I can't be more pleased with the product."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
