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

"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."

"After you are done with your first backup you can forget about the solution."

"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."

"It allows us to backup our remote sites to a local NAS device, and allows for easy retrieval of data."

"Their response is quite efficient."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

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

"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."

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

"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."

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

"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."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."

"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced."

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"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 could use some updating."

"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."

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

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

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

"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

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

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

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

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

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

"We have a very good return on investment."

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

"Its pricing needs improvement."

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

"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."

"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."
