Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Some users are using Acronis True Image on their laptops to perform various functions related to backup of data. It supports all kinds of backup like file and/or folder backup, system partition backup etc. It helps in backing up data for emergency situations like ransomware attacks, transferring data, OS etc. to another computer among other things.
Pros
  • Best Graphical interface in backups apps.
  • Fast to backup data.
  • Has ransomware protection feature which sets it apart from other backup apps and negates the need to have a separate ransomware protection software.
Cons
  • The setup takes time to install.
  • The app does not run in domain environment without domain admin login.
  • The speeds are great but can be improved a bit more.
Likelihood to Recommend
Acronis True Image is well suited to people who are looking for a reliable and easy to use backup program. It is excellent for both home and business users but would recommend it for home use more. I also like that the app supports backing up data to cloud storage also in addition to local drives/external hard disks etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Acronis True Image (ATI) provides locally-stored daily backups of client projects, drafts and assets. Since our files are fairly large, its delta backup feature saves a lot of time by backing up only parts that have changed. These backups also make it possible to test certain configurations and then revert them afterwards. ATI is also used to store clean ready-to-go images of common applications and software configurations which can be easily restored if a system becomes corrupted or degrades significantly in performance.
Pros
  • Delta backup makes backups super fast of larger files that do not change in its entirety (e.g. VM images, large PSD files)
  • Easy to use (set it and forget it)
  • Rescue media makes it easy to restore backups to different hardware and migrate to other work stations
  • Lots of backup options on the Windows version of ATI
Cons
  • Like many other backup software, its reliance on volume shadow service (VSS) can be troublesome to troubleshoot. Errors around VSS tend to be cryptic and could be caused by completely unrelated issues (Acronis VSS doctor can only help so much)
  • Mac version of ATI has many issues and occasionally fails to restore an image because of the split system and data volumes in macOS Catalina and later
  • Updater in Mac version of ATI causes constant kernel_task activity (20%+) randomly until internet connection is cut off or the updater file is made non executable
  • Error messages in ATI are often too generic and not helpful
  • ATI will also randomly delete all the previous backups except the recent one even though ample disk space is available on the destination disk. As mentioned previously, the mac version will sometimes fail to restore on Catalina (10.15) and later.
Likelihood to Recommend
ATI provides a robust set of features in the Windows version and is great for both home and business use. It is easy to setup different backups of different folders and run them all on a schedule. However, some knowledge of backup schemes will be helpful as it provides many different types (incremental, differential, etc), but it does not provide any recommendations on which method is ideal for which use case scenarios. The Mac version is significantly lacking in features and by default does not appear to exclude certain cache folders so without excluding them manually, you may find your backup volume filling up faster than usual. On Windows, the commonly used folders are excluded by default but may still require fine tuning depending on the applications being used. (e.g. Adobe's massive media cache folder will indeed get backed up)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use this product internally, as well as recommending and selling it to other people and organizations. I use the software to create scheduled, automatic full system image backups of company and client workstations (as well as Windows servers with the appropriate Acronis server products). This product has proven useful numerous times over the last 12 years both for bare-metal recovery of systems with failed drives, as well as to recover individual files that were corrupted or deleted by users. It has proven itself invaluable.
Pros
  • Full, automatic backups with no user action required.
  • Email notifications of backup completion status for confirmation that successful backups are occurring.
  • Protection of backup files from accidental deletion or malware interference/encryption.
Cons
  • Some features have actually become more complicated over the years. One that comes to mind is creating a backup plan that can execute daily to an external USB media that is changed daily (older versions would back up to the, for example, "F" drive regardless of which drive was attached - newer versions identify each drive uniquely, and a backup task created with a given external drive will fail due to the lack of media presence if the drive is replaced).
  • Error messages could be less cryptic.
  • Support turnaround time and live assistance could be faster.
Likelihood to Recommend
Acronis True Image is my go-to recommendation for automatic full system backups. It is often the fastest and most complete way to recover a failed system. Conversely, for backups of user data only, I actually prefer a cloud solution such as iDrive, which is far simpler to set up than most online solutions, and offers included phone and email technical support that is quite competent.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I back up religiously, several different ways, and Acronis True Image is the method I use for online backup. We are a small firm, so I use it to back up all the shared data, as well as several key computers.
Pros
  • It is seamless. Set it and let it do its magic in the background.
  • The online portal allows you to quickly check the status of all backups easily.
  • The program includes an Antivirus scan in the background. Although I rely on different, more comprehensive software for virus scanning, every little bit helps.
Cons
  • My main complaint is that the interface for choosing which folders / files to back up is not that great. It takes a little digging to make sure that you have everything chosen correctly.
  • The initial backup takes a long time. Other companies provide a portable disk that you can 'seed' with your data and ship to them to shortcut the process, but they don't.
Likelihood to Recommend
I'm not sure that this is suited for large companies. This is manageable for a small firm with several key computers that need to be backed up. I'm not sure this would scale well for a big company.
