Stuart Grigor - PeerSpot reviewer
Good backup solution but challenges with the stability
It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Although a fantastic backup system, it is very complex.
Although a fantastic backup system, it is very complex. Installation can take anywhere from 35 - 95 min (depending on the system resources) - prior to setting up any backup sets. Disaster Recovery is one area where Asigra requires some re-thinking. At this time the procedures for Disaster Recovery are even more complex then the initial installation. The DR set up must be the same as the original Backup Setup - naming conventions, unless well documented could increase the recovery time significantly. The constant checks and re-checks, although great for data integrity, affects recovery times - once installation of the recovery system is completed a database recovery must be started and then a synchronization of data files (which can take countless hours - depend on amount of data and available bandwidth). Only after all this is done the data recovery can begin. Bare Metal backup is great and works well, although recovery of systems to dissimilar hardware is difficult IF possible. Physical to virtual (only available to VMWare) is complex and requires VMWare tools be installed and configured...configuration can be difficult. For businesses that have Bandwidth issues Recoveries are difficult as interruptions or disruptions may require restarting the recovery of all files again and again until there are no network issues. Test recoveries on secondary systems are difficult - require stoppage of backup systems. Setting up a recovery server can be difficult as at times it may require stopping backup for a day or more depending on the tests run (for Disaster Recovery). For general test recoveries run of the original setup no extra setup is required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"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 solution is stable and reliable."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
 

Cons

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"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."
"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."
"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
"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."
