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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before."
"The setup is very easy."
"The configuration of automatic backups and the full image of the hard drive, so in case something happens I can recover the full hard drive."
"What Acronis provides is much more than that; it provides backup, management, and security, as well as vulnerability management and patch management, and a little bit of DLP."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery has a simple interface that allows administrators to quickly achieve basic backup tasks and restoration."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I also think the fact that it is extremely customizable means that it's really easy to get something wrong, and it not work as intended."
"Product has been very unstable since version 10 and all versions since then."
"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The manual is too simple."
"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."
"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
