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

"Post-implementation, this fell to zero and boosted morale by allowing the engineers to enjoy their weekends with their families."
"Customer service is fast, responsive, and overall good."
"Every time I've used Acronis in the past - I've been doing this for 25 years - I haven't had any problems."
"​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​"
"The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats, providing inception into threats and how to react with them before securing, and is a great asset as a feature."
"Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward."
"Backups of servers while they are running."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"I have found all the features useful in the 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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
 

Cons

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."
"Acronis Backup support could improve."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones."
"Sometimes backups become corrupted and can not be access via the Recovery Console, You can send the backups too Acronis support (Could take months depending on the size of the backup) and they will try to recover the data, however rarely do."
"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."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"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."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"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."
