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

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."

"The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats, providing inception into threats and how to react with them before securing, and is a great asset as a feature."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."

"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

Cons

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."

"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."

"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"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 Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
