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

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"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."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"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 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."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"Product has been very unstable since version 10 and all versions since then."
"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"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."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"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 would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
