Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup was straightforward as was restoring the files, and I have been able to just go right on and restore the files that I need."
"Try all of the solutions in the market; you will see for yourself that Acronis is the easiest to use and stable, and it has never failed on me."
"Getting an image of a server machine just for disaster recovery purposes is valuable."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"Previously I used Ghost from Symantec; I also tried other products at the same time just to make sure I was making the right decision, and there is no question that Acronis is better than everyone else."
"It solved our problem with Linux servers by giving us an image based backup system that is easy to use."
"Their response is quite efficient."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
 

Cons

"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"Version 12.5 only has a web interface which is absolutely unacceptable for this type of product."
"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."
"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
