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

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"We are able to remotely backup machines from locations across the United States from one centralized point."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"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."
"The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats, providing inception into threats and how to react with them before securing, and is a great asset as a feature."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
 

Cons

"For smaller companies, it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"MS Exchange and SQL backups are a little slow and odd to setup."
"Yes, especially in the restore, a simple update for the software messed up the whole setup."
"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"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."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
