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

"Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK."

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

"It’s invaluable for disaster recovery and is pretty quick doing a restore."

"The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."

"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."

"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."

"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."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

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

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

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"The solution is appliance-free, the initial setup is very straightforward, the scalability and stability have never been a problem for us, technical support is very good, and we have found the price point to be quite good."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b."

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

"Technical support is very good."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

"The cost of Acronis Cyber Protect is good, but as a general judgment here in Egypt, the economic situation is not good. If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption."

"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."

"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

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

"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."

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

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

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

"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."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"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."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

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

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

"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."
