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.

Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"All are valuable and reliable with Acronis Backup 11.7.50220."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"With Acronis software it was very easy to set up, the reliability has been wonderful."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management, and I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
 

Cons

"Acronis Backup support could improve."
"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."
"​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"Yes, especially in the restore, a simple update for the software messed up the whole setup."
"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."
"I also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
