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.

Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

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."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Try all of the solutions in the market; you will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable, and it has never failed on me."
"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 setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."
"Backups of servers while they are running."
"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
 

Cons

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side, but Veeam's cloud backup is quite efficient on cloud backup, especially when it comes to Microsoft 365, etc."
"However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level."
"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."
"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
