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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement
While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the best data backup and recovery software out there in the market."
"While using this solution for my customers over the past seven years, data loss and other disasters have been prevented and where ransom attacks have occurred, we were able to restore the data where Acronis was used to back up information."
"Built in backup schemes are available within the software to fulfill most common backup tasks while you can configure detailed settings to meet your specific backup requirements."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"I didn't start using Acronis until I came here 3 years ago - it's what the organization was using already, and I found that I liked it better than Symantec."
"We have never had a backup fail because of the software."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
 

Cons

"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"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 initial installation of the product was difficult."
"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 solution's reporting feature could be better."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"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."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"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 describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
