Effective data recovery with strong backup features
I am not using the blockchain-based data integrity verification feature. We have not implemented proactive ransomware protection and anti-malware features, so they have not been helpful to my customers. For shared drives, when configuring SharePoint services for backup, licensing becomes difficult to understand, so that would be a point of interest for improvement. The licensing features should be improved. The licensing for SharePoint should be more visible for SharePoint services backup to make it more feasible and understandable. In terms of management, group management is not available for bulk activities, which I have previously given feedback on in a training session conducted by Acronis. If you want to do any recovery for bulk users, the option for bulk activities is not available in Acronis currently. Bulk activity should be available. Technical support from Acronis requires some improvisation; we do not get on-time support, and we face issues connecting with the account manager, which needs to be improved.

Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems
Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"My customers are finding value in Acronis Disaster Recovery, as they are happy with the tool and continue to use the services after facing many situations where they found it useful and got good returns on their investment."
"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."
"Performance-wise, it works efficiently for backup and recovery compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is data restoration or data recovery."
"This is a good product and I feel confident recommending it to any of my customers."
"This product is user-friendly."
"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."
"I see that the seamless synchronization feature is helpful for your organization or your customers' organization."
"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."
"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."
 

Cons

"The cost is acceptable."
"We need the server configuration capacity to be enlarged with the solution's help, as it does not currently include capabilities for storage expansion during recovery."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"The product should improve compute points."
"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."
"One thing I see as a drawback in Precisely Assure MIMIX is that deployment is quite complex and it takes time."
"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."
"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is average."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"The product has an affordable price."
"The tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."
"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The cost of the product is too high."
"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."
