Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.
AK
Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
 

Cons

"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"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."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"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."
