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

"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."

"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."

"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"The setup is very easy."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

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

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

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

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

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."

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

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"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."

"The reporting can be improved."

"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."

"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

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

"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.""

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."

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

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

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

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"We have a very good return on investment."

"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."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

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

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."
