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.

One of the cheapest products that also provides prompt support

It is fine if users want to use the product for a general purpose. If they want something with more options, they should choose other solutions. Veeam Agent for Linux has only basic features, and the configuration is not as good as other products. Veaam can create backups of the virtual environment, physical environment, and Office 365. You can also create backups to the cloud. There are many options. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."

"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."

"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."

"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."

"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."

"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

"The technical support is good."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

"The initial setup was straightforward; it's not complicated and takes around half an hour to implement, depending on the performance of the server where you are installing the backup software."

"It is scalable."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"The only problem that I face while using this software is that the backup taken using its older versions do at times create problem while being restored with new versions."

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"There is no technical support available for this product and there is also minimal documentation available."

"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."

"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"The pricing could be lowered if possible."

"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."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"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."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"Price-wise it's good."

"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."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"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."
