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

"Their response is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
