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.

Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"It allows us to backup our remote sites to a local NAS device, and allows for easy retrieval of data."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
 

Cons

"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."
"Yes, mostly with Acronis Snap Deploy, using network deployment, most clients do not automatically get DHCP settings when using dual network adapters on the Server."
"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."
"The manual is too simple."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them."
"The initial installation of the product was difficult."
"The reporting can be improved."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The solution is affordable."
