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.

It's easy to use and restore. Tech support is also good.
Easy to use and restore. Restoring when there is issue. Backup bigger virtual machines (VMs). Six years. No. Some big servers don't seem to backup well. Good. Straightforward. It's easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"It is perfect for small- to medium-sized business installations."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The recent release, Acronis 12, is integrated with Cloud Acronis and is useful to backup data while providing a stronger security policy for critical data."
"Massive peace of mind and the certain knowledge that we can recover from any disaster goes way beyond the cost of the product."
"Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"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 only problem that I face while using this software is that the backup taken using its older versions do at times create problem while being restored with new versions."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"The technical support is less than average."
"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"Product has been very unstable since version 10 and all versions since then."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The price is reasonable."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
