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.

Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features

When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."

"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."

"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."

"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."

"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."

"The scalability of the product is fine."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

Cons

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."

"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."

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"It is a low-cost solution."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."

"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
