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

"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas."

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

"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."

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

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

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."

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

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

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

"Technical support is very good."

"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."

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

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."

"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

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

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"MS Exchange and SQL backups are a little slow and odd to setup."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"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."

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

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."

"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 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."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

"The price 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."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"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."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

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

"We have a very good return on investment."

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

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

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