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

"The performance has been fine so far."
"We are able to remotely backup machines from locations across the United States from one centralized point."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"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 best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"It solved our problem with Linux servers by giving us an image based backup system that is easy to use."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"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."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases."
"The cost of Acronis Cyber Protect is good, but as a general judgment here in Egypt, the economic situation is not good. If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption."
"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
