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

"The licensing model is very good."
"Our customers are impressed with the scalability and richness of the different functions."
"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."
"It allows us to backup our remote sites to a local NAS device, and allows for easy retrieval of data."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"Acronis Backup and Recovery with universal restore allowed me to get back online again."
"What Acronis provides is much more than that; it provides backup, management, and security, as well as vulnerability management and patch management, and a little bit of DLP."
"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."
"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."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"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 have found all the features useful in the solution."
 

Cons

"Acronis support is pathetic. It takes five days to open the case."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"There is no technical support available for this product and there is also minimal documentation available."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are supported but not so successfully, it's a little shaky."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"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."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The management could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"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."
"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"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 price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
