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.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"End user can manage backup and recovery on its own efficiently once a product PC has failed during production."
"Image based backup, restore Windows based images quickly and on different hardware."
"It allows us to backup our remote sites to a local NAS device, and allows for easy retrieval of data."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It's simple to use."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I haven't explored all of what this solution has to offer as I have only been using it for four months, but so far it's good and I would recommend it."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
 

Cons

"They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster."
"There are some frustrating things. One in particular is when you're looking through your logs from the previous night's jobs and you see a warning, and you go in, and you try to dig through to find what exactly the warning meant, and you can't find anything."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"Installation could be easier."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"It could use deduplication features."
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
"At the moment, this solution is not good enough."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"The costing is very competitive."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Price-wise it's good."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
