What do you like best about Acronis True Image?

Between my work and personal files, I've collected over 1TB of data over the last 20 years. I like to keep all of it readily accessible in case I need it without going through multiple hard drives or backups. Acronis True Image, now Cyber Protect Home Office, does this for me in a simple and reliable way. I like how it allows lets me to back up my 1TB+ of data in one fell swoop to an external USB 3.0 hard drive, which stores 3TB of data. I keep the backup as a single image, meaning that if I ever need to restore it, all of my data files, along with the operating system and installed applications, will be there.

What do you dislike about Acronis True Image?

The Acronis folks seem to struggle at times with the user interface. The design is not as simple as it could be, and because I don't use the software every day, I need to "relearn" it a bit with every use. They have tried to make it simpler and more automatic, but those efforts have fallen short. Still, the underlying feature set is solid and the software has always been reliable, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acronis True Image:

If it's important to you to have a local backup of your digital files, then this Acronis product is a fine choice. Although the company would like you to store your files in their cloud -- as is true with many competitive products -- you are not forced to do this and you can use a local hard drive or drives as I do. I recommend this product for reliable and fast local backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acronis True Image solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned, the user interface is not as straightforward as I would like. Acronis packs in a lot of functionality into this software, so much so that its primary usage -- computer backup -- is made more difficult to find in the UI's many layers. The benefits of reliabilty and speed make the software very valuable to me. The software backs up huge volumes of files far faster than I've seen in other products, including the tools built into Microsoft Windows 10 itself. I also like how Acronis bundles the ability to wipe a hard drive of all data traces securely. I've found this valuable on aging PCs that I've wanted to donate to charity or recycle. It's a better way to wipe and clean a disk than physically destroying the hard drive and is much more environmentally friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
