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.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."

"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."

"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."

"It is a very stable solution."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"Technical support is very good."

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America. It is important to review the cost for different countries."

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."

"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"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."

"The pricing could be improved."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing.""

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"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."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"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."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"We have a very good return on investment."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"The solution is expensive."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
