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.

It's easy to use and restore. Tech support is also good.
Easy to use and restore. Restoring when there is issue. Backup bigger virtual machines (VMs). Six years. No. Some big servers don't seem to backup well. Good. Straightforward. It's easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's always stable; it's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery has a simple interface that allows administrators to quickly achieve basic backup tasks and restoration."
"While using this solution for my customers over the past seven years, data loss and other disasters have been prevented and where ransom attacks have occurred, we were able to restore the data where Acronis was used to back up information."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management, and I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features."
"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."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"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."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"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."
"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 cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"It is a low-cost solution."
