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.

Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."
"Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward."
"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."
"The licensing model is very good."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"The setup is very easy."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs some improvement."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"The manual is too simple."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"The Acronis Workstation Backup and Recovery version 11.7 is not backwards compatible."
"The ability to use computing resources, the storage nose is stuck frequently and we have to reboot it, and I'm told that it needs 128GB memory and SAS disk to keep it stable, all of these elements leave me unsatisfied."
"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."
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
