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.

Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Backups of servers while they are running."
"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."
"Ease of deployment is something that was important, and that's what this solution did offer."
"It’s invaluable for disaster recovery and is pretty quick doing a restore."
"The product is very easy to use, quite stable, very flexible, its feature set is well balanced, the initial setup is very straightforward and the deployment is very fast, and the licensing model is very good."
"Acronis is quite a good solution for that."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"Overall, this solution has been very cost-effective for us."
 

Cons

"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"I also think the fact that it is extremely customizable means that it's really easy to get something wrong, and it not work as intended."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI; for example, better graphs and statistics so that you have a better vision of what exactly you have stored."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"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."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
