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

"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Acronis is a highly effective product; it's easy to use and manage."
"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 performance has been fine so far."
"Massive peace of mind and the certain knowledge that we can recover from any disaster goes way beyond the cost of the product."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
 

Cons

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better."
"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."
"The reporting can be improved."
"I would ​change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing.​"
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"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 tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The price is reasonable."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"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."
