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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The pricing is fine."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
