Ex Acronis user here. I switched to Macrium last night. It is much nicer than Acronis for me. I have Macrium free version and it does what it is supposed to do unlike Acronis which does this and then adds in so much more bloat and running services, etc.
I have a clean install image with all programs setup saved. I do a 3x weekly image of the SSD, weekly backup of my data drive and monthly of another drive that is 1.4GB. I added in the Macrium boot menu that loads before windows to ask what I want to boot into. Now if I bork the system, I just choose Macrium when I reboot and restore the clean image. If it is totally gone, I have bootable media.
I like it much more than Acronis personally. It is a bit more complex to be honest, but it didn't load a ton of bloat on my system either.
