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.

Comprehensive data protection supports diverse IT environments
Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products. It supports cross-platform backup and recovery, allowing customers to back up from one platform and recover to another. The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use. In addition to virtual machine backups, the platform supports physical server backups, file backups, and database backups. This comprehensive support allows customers to back up most IT resources, including the public cloud, within one platform.

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 extra protection, especially for the backup."
"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 solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery has a simple interface that allows administrators to quickly achieve basic backup tasks and restoration."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to; we don't have to have multiple solutions, as it can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure, as well as SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite, so everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"They need to continue working on it to make it work more smoothly and faster."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"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."
"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."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
