Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Integrated cybersecurity stands out against the other competitors. Acronis backup solution is something I did a lot of research about and compare it with the other backup solutions. The ability to implement email security, endpoint protection and remote management from a single console is great and makes the life much easier rather than logging in to different portals.

  • Endpoint protection.

Cons

  • The onboarding can be simpler and fast.
  • Remote management can have added functionality.
  • PSA can also have more features.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis to back up special clients in our company. This protects us in case company-relevant computers stop working and allows us to restore them on new hardware. In addition, we can clone specialized computers (those with specialized software or settings) onto new hardware when replacing them. This saves us a lot of time.

Pros

  • Easy administration.
  • Good overview.
  • Available everywhere.

Cons

  • Workloads were incomprehensible at first.
  • Restoring clients with automatic SYSPREP.
  • Better to know which ports, IPs, etc. need to be enabled on the firewall.

Return on Investment

  • Business-critical computers are backed up = redundancy in case of failure.
  • Redundancy of computers ensures workflow.
  • No long-term downtime in operation.
