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.

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It does not delete locked files."
"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 device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
