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 recent release, Acronis 12, is integrated with Cloud Acronis and is useful to backup data while providing a stronger security policy for critical data."
"Management console is able to control all backups from one location."
"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."
"​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​"
"The tool is user-friendly."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It’s invaluable for disaster recovery and is pretty quick doing a restore."
"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

"The product isn't very scalable."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The Acronis Workstation Backup and Recovery version 11.7 is not backwards compatible."
"The software requires a number of network ports to be open between the management machine and the clients and backup devices."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are supported but not so successfully, it's a little shaky."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"On the cloud side, security could always be 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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
