Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.
AK
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

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​"
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
 

Cons

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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 support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"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 cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."
"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."
"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."
