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.

Simply provides single-vendor, consistent cloud-based backup
I would say that the room for improvement comes under the heading of performance. We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that. If they would make my 24-hour backup cycle window, from start to finish, a 15-hour or a 12-hour backup window, I'd be that much happier. Just to be clear, there's no time consumption on the part of my staff. This runs fully automatically. But the concern is that when you do backups, you want your backup window to be as narrow as possible. Actually, our backup window is 20 hours, and it gets done in 20 hours. Because, the longer it lingers, the more of a window there is for a disaster to knock you down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s invaluable for disaster recovery and is pretty quick doing a restore."
"Customer service is fast, responsive, and overall good."
"It provided us with a fast and reliable way to recover a complex operating system, from one server to another so as to increase the business continuity."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The product meets our company's disaster recovery needs."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"Upon discovering Acronis, I was fascinated by the flexible granular detailed features of 'what to and where to (multiple locations)' backup and its central management capabilities as opposed to Windows' local system administration."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"We don't think about our backups anymore, they're that reliable."
"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
 

Cons

"The newer version 12 was a little bit hard to set up and get licensed."
"The pricing could be improved."
"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
