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.

We use the solution to protect the applications running in the cloud or on-premises. Its wider boost functionality helps us eliminate the tape backup requirements The solution's most valuable feature is throttling the applications as per the bandwidth. Using it, we can adapt a method to work on…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While using this solution for my customers over the past seven years, data loss and other disasters have been prevented and where ransom attacks have occurred, we were able to restore the data where Acronis was used to back up information."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery has a simple interface that allows administrators to quickly achieve basic backup tasks and restoration."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products; it integrates well and is very simple to use, making it easy for him to make copies of very important files to the public cloud because it is fully integrated with his Networker and Avamar's tools."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
 

Cons

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The technical support is less than average."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"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."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
