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

"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."
"Acronis is quite a good solution for that."
"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."
"Management console is able to control all backups from one location."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Those functions have been removed from the product and it's very frustrating."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
