Acronis True Image Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Acronis Cyber Protect provides data backup for critical servers and VM that are more important for business and not acceptable if any data loss in case of hardware failure, OS failures or malware or ransomware it can be up system with minimum downtime. In case of bussiness problems it will also provide data security using encription of data. We are using Acronis as backup facility, cyber security protection and compliance protection .

Likelihood to Recommend

As name Suggests it is good solution for home users or small offices it will give all basic features required by home user Incremental backup, Schduling of backup whenever system will be idle so perfomance issue will not impact on work. also malware scanning and other tools like clean up, clone disk, rescue media etc are usefull for home user.

While to install it and working smoothly with that it will require minimum system requirement and will not work properly with lower than that requirement.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office primarily to create custom bootable media for image creation and deployment. Acronis allows me to add local driver folders to a boot image so that any model of the machine I need to utilize will function without issue. You can also create bootable CDs/DVDs with the same software - however, we stick to custom ISOs and USB drives for this usage.

Likelihood to Recommend

Acronis Cyber Protect is great for any small/mid-sized business. The price point makes it attractive to all budgets >$100/year for 5 device deployments. Competitors offer less and charge more! Very happy with the suite of products, and renewals are simple and straightforward as well. I hope they don't change a thing!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently using Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office for protecting a SMB business as well as performing PC backups. no major issues with the product so far. Easy install, the download and executable files are easy small and compact.

Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office helps solves alot of small home users and businesses for me who cant afford all the protection and backup and also consolidates the protuct line into one with a central management platform.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great product at great value. Woudl highly recommend for anyone who is needing a reliable product that needs the following all packaged into one - PC Protection - Backups - Centralised cloud services - Storage

Has alot of other additional features that allows central management, as well as historical file restoration and full backup of image isos in case of hardware failure. Easy to use tools as well as cost effective and can easily be deployed across different OS's.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Acronis to back up a laptop used in teaching and research as well as my home computer. It solves the problem of recovering essential materials quickly in the event of a catastrophic computer loss or failure.

Likelihood to Recommend

Works well to backup three machines (my license limit) at a reasonable cost with a reasonable amount of online storage provided. It is somewhat clunky if you want to do rotating backups among two or more separate hard drives. A license agreement which restricts my freedom to publicly discuss how the software performs is offensive.

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.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

[Acronis True Image was] implemented as part of a redundant backup and recovery plan. Running this on a workstation with a local external drive and cloud, and laptop with a local external drive. Purchased because of the imaging reputation that Acronis traditionally has, and interested in their new claimed ability to help interrupt ransomware.

Likelihood to Recommend

The imaging capability seems to be solid [with Acronis True Image], although I have not had to recover a drive yet so cannot compare. The logs tell me when it is (and isn't) working. The "Cloud Replication" that is supposed to simultaneously replicate the

local backup image is perfectly awful and the months of tech support

ended with them telling me I had a "VSS issue" on a brand new workstation

and that I should just create a separate cloud image. After months of it

taking 3-4 DAYS to run, IF it worked, and then failing altogether, I discontinued it. It was even logging (running?) under another separate critical files backup, and forced to use the same encryption password. Setting up a new one failed. The cloud backup of my critical

files is still running at kb/sec speeds. The ransomware protection hasn't caught anything yet to my knowledge, and consumes a lot of resources. Changing the settings takes at least 10 minutes to log into the cloud. Cloud storage is tiny and a push to get you to pay more. Will not be renewing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acronis True Image both on our networked computers and standalone computers in our office as our main computer data backup and restore system. It is our go to solution for our data integrity for virus, ransomware, and system backups

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that Acronis True Image provides to our business the best value in data protection bar none. It is a perfect solution for small and medium sized businesses.

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.

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.

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.

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.
