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

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Getting an image of a server machine just for disaster recovery purposes is valuable."
"For me, it's been very successful and very effective."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"Upon discovering Acronis, I was fascinated by the flexible granular detailed features of 'what to and where to (multiple locations)' backup and its central management capabilities as opposed to Windows' local system administration."
"The setup is very easy."
"It offers an excellent level of service."
"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."
"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."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"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."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
 

Cons

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones."
"It does not delete locked files."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The technical support needs some improvement."
"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"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 management could be a bit better."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"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."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"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."
