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.

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

"This product gave us two major features: Imaging allowed us to create clones from the production server with ultimate speed, and protection against server failures with the ability to restore on different hardware."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"It solved our problem with Linux servers by giving us an image based backup system that is easy to use."
"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"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."
"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."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
 

Cons

"I had to call one of the technicians to help set it up. It was so complicated. And I still don't know how to use it."
"GUI for management of backups. Using 11.5 more difficult with keeping on tabs with all backup schedules and status of backups, even when using the management console feature of the software."
"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"Live thumb drive boot process does not work well and support for it is lacking."
"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"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."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
