### "Easy to setup and use"

November 12, 2019

5.0

I've been nothing but happy with it's performance and reliablity

Pros

Acronis is probably the most straightforward and reliable backup programs that I've used. I've had zero issues from it, and was saved by it's restorations on a couple of occasions.

Cons

The versions I've used required manual backups, as they were tied to specific drive vendors, and came free with the associated HDDs, and SSDs.

### "Great Backup Solution"

September 11, 2018

5.0

Overall Acronis has been a good solution. After the initial backup, everything else is fairly quick.

Pros

Acronis is fairly easy to configure and use. I did not have any problems configuring it to backup my PC automatically. Their online documentation also seems to be fairly helpful.

Cons

Had some issues with drives being mapped on the PC and backing up to a NAS device through that mapped drive. Having the drive mapped and pointing the software to network location on the same share in the software did not work.

### "Good to Great"

November 5, 2019

4.0

Overall very useful I would recommend any and everyone to have an offsite backup solution with images of their most important work or systems so that if they ever experience a downtime it won't be long.

Pros

We have used this software for desktop and for backup up images of desktops so we can use them for restoration. The bonus was being able to have the cloud option which removes the need for having storage in house and spending budget with mass onsite storage.

Cons

Not having them on site and having to download from the internet can be a pain especially if we needed a quick backup or the lost of data happens before the backup kicks in.

### "Overall good product, works as described"

July 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

Acronis backup works great for performing image based backups for PCs and servers. Restoring to different sized hard drives works well.

Cons

Need a better option for technician usage of the product for daily one-off backups. Restores to different hardware needs better descriptions

### "Backup software used on all our computers in the office"

September 20, 2017

4.0

Pros

This program was the one I choose to purchase to do all my backing up. I will say the program is easy to use and I have it set to backup every night at 3 am. The nice feature about this program is you can still work (we occasionally do long nights) and it will run in the background. I am lucky to say I haven't had to use any of our backups yet. But, I do check and see they are on our server.

Cons

I haven't found many cons on this program. Maybe that it always asks you to upgrade to the next best thing. The new edition (for a cost of course). That does get a little annoying.

### "Backup software that makes life easy going. Awesome job Acronis!"

February 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

The things I like most about this software is the option to schedule multiple backups at the same time. I also like the ability to backup any flavor of operating systems.

Cons

The thing I least about this software is the installation. I think if everything was installed at once and not separately installed, it will make installation a lot smoother.

### "Business use review"

July 10, 2019

4.0

As Kingston distributors, every SSD that we sell comes with an Acronis Activation Key which helps us a lot especially when a client is requesting a storage upgrade without losing any of his data.

Pros

The cloning feature is one of the best, it covers everything from A to Z

Cons

The free version of it is almost useless it disables most of the useful features

### "Pretty good software"

March 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

My business partner and I looked at this software, mostly because they use block-chain to secure the data. The software was a little too expensive for us personally, but for larger companies it would be fine.

Cons

Block-chain can add up quickly in data requirements, also I personally found it to be slightly confusing. It would have been better to see a gradation pricing scale for the types and sizes of companies.

### "I have not gotten one single backup to complete."

July 14, 2017

1.0

none

Pros

I liked the fact that the software was supposed to do bare metal backup, meaning you could restore it to a new machine. I got this software because it was recommended. I should have done more research.

Cons

The software has not worked at all. It has not made one single complete backup without error in the 6 months I have struggled with it. I am very sorry I purchased it. Also, I thought I would be able to back up to my own cloud, but it will only back up (if you can get it to work) to their cloud that you have pay extra for. Customer support responded at first, but now they are just ignoring me.

### "Acronis is a Great Backup Program!"

October 21, 2015

5.0

I was recommended to use Acronis by my computer specialist. This has been a great program for backing up both my laptop and my desktop. For me, it is a better solution than a backup harddrive (I had one of those, and it failed.). I would recommend Acronis to others who are looking for a better way to back up their info.

### "Not a fan"

May 30, 2019

3.0

Pros

I've used Acronis software in the past. Mainly to recover data and it seems their software is typically hit or miss. I don't use Acronis for my backups or data recovery anymore because there is better software on the market that has surpassed Acronis.

Cons

It's not very user friendly, it's glitchy and often times crashes.

### "Decent backup software"

December 12, 2019

4.0

I do a weekly backup of the main business PC. A simple but vital task.

Pros

It works - and is easy to use. You can setup a backup schedule and let it run in the background. Adds peace of mind!

Cons

The interface is a bit clunky. But for the low cost, its fine. The useful options are hidden away somewhat.

### "Great imaging tool, with encryption and password protection options."

December 27, 2017

5.0

Great backup and restore software with great security options.

Pros

This is a good software for Backing up and restoring computers. You can create an image of a computer and even restore it to a totally different brand computer as long as you have the drivers. It has secure options like encryption and password protection which is nice.

Cons

Thi software does everything that it says it does. We did have an issue once with HP computers but after updating the the latest build it fixed the issue.

### "Excellent tool for any organization"

August 23, 2020

5.0

We had terrabytes of historical photoed and newsletters. After a scare where we almost lost a hard drive, this (& a external hard drive) solved a panic over having orderly backup.

Pros

It was simple to setup, simple to implement. It took less than 2 hours to install the software, make a backup and train the end user.

Cons

It was a little tricky to automate the backup but I believe an update solved that issue - it really does not have negatives for backing up a stand alone pc.

### "Making easy the installation and set up server process"

February 27, 2019

5.0

It improved the performance of my job of a system admin.

Pros

It is very useful when you back up your system. You can back up one partition or the complete hard disk.

Cons

Some times it present a memory error when you are using to back up a ext4 partition.

### "très déçu"

February 12, 2022

1.0

Prévu pour sauvegarder mes données sur leur Cloud, il n'a servi à rien à part les enrichir... Je n'ai jamais récupéré mes données et , cerise sur le gâteau, il m'ont facturé un réabonnement sans mon accord que je n'arrive pas à me faire rembourser ! Des escrocs !

Pros

que des regrets d'avoir utilisé ce logiciel

Cons

Aucun débouché avec le SAV, majoritairement ne parlant pas le Français, perte de temps et d'argent

### "Easiest and simplest backup program to use"

October 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to use. Its extremely intuitive. The whole system back-ups work flawlessly and are very easy to recover with.

Cons

A bit on the expensive side. Not as feature rich as other programs, but that could be a pro as it is less confusing for the end user to navigate

### "Reliable Cloud Backup"

August 28, 2019

4.0

Overall i like the cloud base backup. The baremetal restore backup is great and it works. I would just like to have better documentation on how to complete that without breaking my head ove rit.

Pros

I like that the user interface is a lot easier to go through when setting up the initial backup. If you want to setup a cloud based backup the initial backup is easy to setup the wizard guides you through the setup and makes it that much easier.

Cons

The full workstation restore is not as well documented, as least the last time that I tried to restore a full image of a workstation.

### "Great, reliable software"

November 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of use makes it a good product for all levels of user. Allows for full and differential backups and can clone drives/partitions.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the software to boot. The option for cloning a drive is in a menu and not on the main screen.

### "Backups without worry"

April 26, 2019

4.0

Pros

The fact that it was easy as 1 2 3 to backup and restore. The built in backup on Windows leaves me wondering if I'll actually be able to use it. Acronis lets me sleep at night :)

Cons

For some reason I've experienced some crashes in the program but not too much to worry about

### "Experience"

January 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

Acronis has basically all the tools you need to create backups, I personally like to use the network backup since I don't have to carry external drives around to make my backups. The software is really easy and the instructions are almost pretty straight foward.

Cons

This software really need Linux support, that is all we ask for the next updates.

### "Secure and easy backup and recovery of files"

August 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

What I like most about Acronis Backup is its excellent capacity to securely backup and quickly retrieve files and its simplicity to use as it is easily tailored to all kinds of customers. Acronis recovers information that has experienced some kind of attack or merely an unforeseen incident in a secure and easy manner. In my view, Acronis technical support is very useful to fix any inconvenience. They always are in continuous communication until the resolution of the issue.

Cons

It has a high learning curve for new beginners.

### "Acronis Backup also provides tools to backup smartphones, including Android and iOS devices"

April 19, 2018

5.0

User-Friendly. All information is readily accessible in a way the flows ni

Pros

Fast backup speeds, Private encryption. It has lots of features and support for virtual environments, which is why it's our best pick for virtual backup. It also advises if backup was successful and if not, where the error lies.

Cons

It doesn't have any two-factor authentication which is a plus to have. Being able to create backups on removable USB hard drives that are taken away for offsite storage when full could be better. You can make it happen but the process doesn't feel as smooth as the rest of the software
