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

"Management console is able to control all backups from one location."
"I've used Acronis Backup for the past two years."
"We are able to remotely backup machines from locations across the United States from one centralized point."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"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

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."
"The newer version 12 was a little bit hard to set up and get licensed."
"Yes, mostly with Acronis Snap Deploy, using network deployment, most clients do not automatically get DHCP settings when using dual network adapters on the Server."
"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

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"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."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
