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.

Expert Backup at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
A virtual deduplication backup appliance that protects physical and virtual data across remote sites, the datacenter and cloud deployments
Given its ease of use and management, I believe there are no specific caveats that users need to be aware of during the setup of DXRIS for backups. The process was straightforward, and I did not encounter any challenges or issues. As for a rating on a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate the Quantum DXI Series a nine. My deduction is primarily influenced by personal preferences, particularly regarding the user interface and it is a highly commendable system, I would rate it a solid nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Acronis is a highly effective product; it's easy to use and manage."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The return on investment was great because it saved us many times, it saved our lives many times."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas."
"It's a good solution for backing up items."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"We tried Acronis and it was easy to use and it worked."
"Acronis helps to backup data on a server and also to manage some cloning from 1 PC to another using the method."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
 

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."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"GUI for management of backups. Using 11.5 more difficult with keeping on tabs with all backup schedules and status of backups, even when using the management console feature of the software."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"I had to call one of the technicians to help set it up. It was so complicated. And I still don't know how to use it."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"The price is reasonable."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
