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

"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."

"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."

"It's a good solution that's very easy to use."

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

"Getting an image of a server machine just for disaster recovery purposes is valuable."

"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to; we don't have to have multiple solutions, as it can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure, as well as SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite, so everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."

"I don't worry that the backups aren't running or panic when a storm is coming through; it just reassures us because we've seen what it's doing, what it can do, and that it's doing what we're asking it to do."

"One of the best data backup and recovery software out there in the market."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."

Cons

"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."

"We would always support better pricing."

"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."

"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."

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"The Acronis Workstation Backup and Recovery version 11.7 is not backwards compatible."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

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

"The product could be more user-friendly."

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

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

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

"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

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."

"The solution is expensive."

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

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

"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."
