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

"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management, and I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"I've used Acronis Backup for the past two years."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"It is one of my favorite backup software, much faster and more reliable than the other software that I have tried."
"The setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"The initial installation of the product was difficult."
"Product has been very unstable since version 10 and all versions since then."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"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."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"It does not do what it says on the tin at all."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"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."
