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

"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"It is one of my favorite backup software, much faster and more reliable than the other software that I have tried."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Customer service is fast, responsive, and overall good."
"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The good thing is that it's a central console, and in that console itself, we have multiple options, including a file sync option, the ability to take a second backup with the client's own cloud and a universal backup that is like a complete image of the server backup level, and that restoration is very good on the Acronis side compared to other products."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
