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.

Stable solution with a wider boost functionality, helping us eliminate the tape backup requirements

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery with universal restore allowed me to get back online again."
"Post-implementation, this fell to zero and boosted morale by allowing the engineers to enjoy their weekends with their families."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"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."
 

Cons

"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"There is no technical support available for this product and there is also minimal documentation available."
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"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."
