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

"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."
"The setup is very easy."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"The ability to clone backups."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"Installation could be easier."
"Those functions have been removed from the product and it's very frustrating."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."
"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
