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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement
While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

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 the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Image based backup, restore Windows based images quickly and on different hardware."
"Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"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."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"This product gave us two major features: Imaging allowed us to create clones from the production server with ultimate speed, and protection against server failures with the ability to restore on different hardware."
"The pricing is fine."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"Replication without network changes."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"Acronis Backup support could improve."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"I also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"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."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"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 price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
