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.

Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"Try all of the solutions in the market; you will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable, and it has never failed on me."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery with universal restore allowed me to get back online again."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
 

Cons

"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"Sometimes I’ve found the agent won’t install, and it doesn’t give you a reason why."
"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."
"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."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"The price is reasonable."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
