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.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way Acronis Backup is currently, it is one of the best that we have used."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The product is very easy to use, quite stable, very flexible, its feature set is well balanced, the initial setup is very straightforward and the deployment is very fast, and the licensing model is very good."
"I don't worry that the backups aren't running or panic when a storm is coming through; it just reassures us because we've seen what it's doing, what it can do, and that it's doing what we're asking it to do."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"Buy it."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"In one balanced solution, one single management pane, I can take care of everything, even my cloud infrastructure."
"It's simple to use."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."
"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
 

Cons

"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"Sometimes backups become corrupted and can not be access via the Recovery Console, You can send the backups too Acronis support (Could take months depending on the size of the backup) and they will try to recover the data, however rarely do."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"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."
"Product has been very unstable since version 10 and all versions since then."
"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are supported but not so successfully, it's a little shaky."
"Requires a committed effort to learn this comprehensive software"
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"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 price is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
