Chairman at ONGC
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"It provided us with a fast and reliable way to recover a complex operating system, from one server to another so as to increase the business continuity."
"The pricing is fine."
"The recent release, Acronis 12, is integrated with Cloud Acronis and is useful to backup data while providing a stronger security policy for critical data."
"Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."
"With Acronis software it was very easy to set up, the reliability has been wonderful."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The setup, the initial setup, does different kind of Windows servers and has different kind of agents for different scenarios. Sometimes the initial setup was a little bit complicated."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"Those functions have been removed from the product and it's very frustrating."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
