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.

Empowers seamless system migration and ensures efficient data backup
Overall, I find Macrium Reflect Workstation very user-friendly compared to any other solutions I have used before, such as Symantec and Acronis. It is very helpful in terms of migration from one platform to another, making it my product of choice. The software is also intuitive and easy to use for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
