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

"Acronis Backup is the kind of product that is quite easy to get started with, as it is pretty straightforward."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"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."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use."
"I didn't start using Acronis until I came here 3 years ago - it's what the organization was using already, and I found that I liked it better than Symantec."
"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."
"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."
"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
 

Cons

"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"I had to call one of the technicians to help set it up. It was so complicated. And I still don't know how to use it."
"Requires a committed effort to learn this comprehensive software"
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"It takes a long to backup data using Acronis backup and recovery v11 and I found Acronis support not really helpful as they always suggest to update the software instead of solving the issue with the current version."
"As far as the functionality goes, I haven't had a single issue with it. Rather, I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."
"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"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."
