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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Due to some power failure our 10 systems crashed which were recovered in few minutes by the Acronis recovery partition."
"The licensing model is very good."
"What Acronis provides is much more than that; it provides backup, management, and security, as well as vulnerability management and patch management, and a little bit of DLP."
"It is perfect for small- to medium-sized business installations."
"Customer service is fast, responsive, and overall good."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"Yes, especially in the restore, a simple update for the software messed up the whole setup."
"Yes, mostly with Acronis Snap Deploy, using network deployment, most clients do not automatically get DHCP settings when using dual network adapters on the Server."
"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."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"The setup, the initial setup, does different kind of Windows servers and has different kind of agents for different scenarios. Sometimes the initial setup was a little bit complicated."
"The initial installation of the product was difficult."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The price is reasonable."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"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 tool is cheap compared to other products."
