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

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"I've used Acronis Backup for the past two years."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The configuration of automatic backups and the full image of the hard drive, so in case something happens I can recover the full hard drive."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"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."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The cost of Acronis Cyber Protect is good, but as a general judgment here in Egypt, the economic situation is not good. If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption."
"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."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
