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 recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."
"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."
"With Acronis software it was very easy to set up, the reliability has been wonderful."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"This solution would not scale well in a large environment."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."
"Requires a committed effort to learn this comprehensive software"
"The Acronis Workstation Backup and Recovery version 11.7 is not backwards compatible."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive."
"Network based data backup and recovery is supported, however network recovery quite often crashes the application."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"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."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
