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

"Upon discovering Acronis, I was fascinated by the flexible granular detailed features of 'what to and where to (multiple locations)' backup and its central management capabilities as opposed to Windows' local system administration."
"It offers an excellent level of service."
"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before."
"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
 

Cons

"I have had an issue at times with support, because they weren't able to get to me and I've had to call back after an hour or so, but other than that, I can't be more pleased with the product."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"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."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"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

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"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."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
