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

"All are valuable and reliable with Acronis Backup 11.7.50220."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."
"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."
"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

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"The only problem that I face while using this software is that the backup taken using its older versions do at times create problem while being restored with new versions."
"It seems like I haven't had any issues since I added the RAM to the Management Server, but it does seem to start being sluggish because I have it running on a Windows 7 machine."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The ability to use computing resources, the storage nose is stuck frequently and we have to reboot it, and I'm told that it needs 128GB memory and SAS disk to keep it stable, all of these elements leave me unsatisfied."
"MS Exchange and SQL backups are a little slow and odd to setup."
"It does not delete locked files."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"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."
