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

"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"Post-implementation, this fell to zero and boosted morale by allowing the engineers to enjoy their weekends with their families."
"I don't worry that the backups aren't running or panic when a storm is coming through; it just reassures us because we've seen what it's doing, what it can do, and that it's doing what we're asking it to do."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."
"While using this solution for my customers over the past seven years, data loss and other disasters have been prevented and where ransom attacks have occurred, we were able to restore the data where Acronis was used to back up information."
"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."
"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"There are some frustrating things. One in particular is when you're looking through your logs from the previous night's jobs and you see a warning, and you go in, and you try to dig through to find what exactly the warning meant, and you can't find anything."
"The newer version 12 was a little bit hard to set up and get licensed."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"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."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
