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

"True Image has a slew of enterprise and end-user features and the interface is both easy to use and simple to understand."
"It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups."
"This solution fulfills all of our needs; its reporting features work flawlessly and it does everything that it's supposed to do once it's setup, without maintenance or any additional time."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The licensing model is very good."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them."
"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"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."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"MS Exchange and SQL backups are a little slow and odd to setup."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"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."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"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 pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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."
