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

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"Fortunately, all of their backups were up to date and the recovery went OK."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"End user can manage backup and recovery on its own efficiently once a product PC has failed during production."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It offers an excellent level of service."
"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."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
 

Cons

"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"However it lacks advance features like granular backup and data filtering hence unsuitable for enterprise level."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"We would always support better pricing."
"Right now I'm using Acronis 2016, and it's a lot harder to do restore."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"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."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"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."
"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"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."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"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."
