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.

Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"I don't worry that the backups aren't running or panic when a storm is coming through; it just reassures us because we've seen what it's doing, what it can do, and that it's doing what we're asking it to do."
"It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups."
"End user can manage backup and recovery on its own efficiently once a product PC has failed during production."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"As far as I'm concerned, it's rock solid and I'm very pleased with it and I will continue to sell it and support it."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
 

Cons

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The software requires a number of network ports to be open between the management machine and the clients and backup devices."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"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."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
 

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."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"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."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
