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.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups

When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"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 setup is very easy."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."

"You can back up the whole image."

"The installation was straightforward."

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."

Cons

"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"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 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 solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

"It needs an easier interface."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"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."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
