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

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"We tried Acronis and it was easy to use and it worked."
"What Acronis provides is much more than that; it provides backup, management, and security, as well as vulnerability management and patch management, and a little bit of DLP."
"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 product meets our company's disaster recovery needs."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"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."
"However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level."
"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 setup, the initial setup, does different kind of Windows servers and has different kind of agents for different scenarios. Sometimes the initial setup was a little bit complicated."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"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 license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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."
"The price 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 cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
