"I am using Acronis Backup and Acronis Cloud. Both solutions
[are] very great and friendly to use - [Acronis is a] very great
backup solution where you can keep all data in local drive or
cloud." Infrastructure and Operations professional, Manufacturing
"Best ease of use product I have ever used. Easy user
interface, even backs up mobile devices…Has an in-depth
feature set" Account Manager, services.
"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 hard drive
(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."

"Once we deployed this service and migrated off of our
original cloud backup, we haven't looked back. I just wish the
alerting and the speed was a little bit better. Still, we don't
have any reason to change off of Acronis and we're happy with the
choice." Chief
Operating Officer, and HIPAA Priva
"Our customers are the foundation of our business and for the
past 15 years we've
celebrated our successes together," said Serg Bell,
