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.

Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have never had a backup fail because of the software."
"It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The configuration of automatic backups and the full image of the hard drive, so in case something happens I can recover the full hard drive."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."
"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"We would always support better pricing."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The pricing could be improved."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
