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

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use."
"This solution fulfills all of our needs; its reporting features work flawlessly and it does everything that it's supposed to do once it's setup, without maintenance or any additional time."
"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."
"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."
"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"Error log interpretation will come back with some great big number, then it will want to go to the internet, but it is a silent site. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to really tell what is going on."
"This solution would not scale well in a large environment."
"Sometimes I’ve found the agent won’t install, and it doesn’t give you a reason why."
"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."
"I also think the fact that it is extremely customizable means that it's really easy to get something wrong, and it not work as intended."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"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."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"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."
