Overall Satisfaction with Acronis True Image
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Automatic full system backups.
- Email notifications of backup results.
- Real-time protection of backup archives.
- Helped me to recover both internal and client systems from complete system failure in a timely manner.
- Helped me to recover internal and client data that had become corrupt or inadvertently deleted.
- Consequently, this has on many occasions reduced business down time, which is critical.
- Veeam Backup & Replication and Macrium Reflect
Overall, Acronis has been my preferred full backup product. This is due
in large part to my positive experiences with it over the years, where I
was able to successfully recover both files and full systems when the
need arose. I have used free Veeam products in recent years, and the
price is certainly hard to beat. I have also recovered files from Veeam
backups on occasions when the need arose. But I have more experience and
more successful recoveries with Acronis products over a period of 12
years.
