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

"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."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"We have never had a backup fail because of the software."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The technical support is less than average."
"However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"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."
"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."
"Yes, mostly with Acronis Snap Deploy, using network deployment, most clients do not automatically get DHCP settings when using dual network adapters on the Server."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
