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.

Simply provides single-vendor, consistent cloud-based backup
I would say that the room for improvement comes under the heading of performance. We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that. If they would make my 24-hour backup cycle window, from start to finish, a 15-hour or a 12-hour backup window, I'd be that much happier. Just to be clear, there's no time consumption on the part of my staff. This runs fully automatically. But the concern is that when you do backups, you want your backup window to be as narrow as possible. Actually, our backup window is 20 hours, and it gets done in 20 hours. Because, the longer it lingers, the more of a window there is for a disaster to knock you down.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Try all of the solutions in the market; you will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable, and it has never failed on me."
"We tried Acronis and it was easy to use and it worked."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas."
"It offers an excellent level of service."
"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."
"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
"We don't think about our backups anymore, they're that reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard."
"Sometimes backups become corrupted and can not be access via the Recovery Console, You can send the backups too Acronis support (Could take months depending on the size of the backup) and they will try to recover the data, however rarely do."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine, but there's always room for improvement on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"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."
"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."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
