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

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats, providing inception into threats and how to react with them before securing, and is a great asset as a feature."
"We are able to remotely backup machines from locations across the United States from one centralized point."
"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."
"As far as I'm concerned, it's rock solid and I'm very pleased with it and I will continue to sell it and support it."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

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."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product."
"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."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The manual is too simple."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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 describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"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."
