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

"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"This product gave us two major features: Imaging allowed us to create clones from the production server with ultimate speed, and protection against server failures with the ability to restore on different hardware."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"Those functions have been removed from the product and it's very frustrating."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
