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 solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The solution has helped us because it supports a lot of platforms and we don't have to install anything at our end in terms of a server and the like; everything is on the cloud and that's a good start for us."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"I've used Acronis Backup for the past two years."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features."
"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."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
 

Cons

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard."
"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."
"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 initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"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 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."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
