Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Automated notifications work much better than other solutions we've employed, and the ability to add usage reports to invoices through DS-Billing is a very useful feature.

The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface. They do have an overhaul in the works, but I appreciate that their first priority is performance. Despite looking a little long-in-the-tooth, our customers are able to handle every aspect of adding and modifying backup sets, performing restores, and monitoring usage themselves vs calling us for help (which we're happy to provide). I'm holding out on that half star while they get that GUI update going, simply because it's a turn-off for first time users - trust me, that shouldn't hold you back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Centralized management is valuable to us."

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"The tool is user-friendly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"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."

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."

"The solution has been very stable."

Cons

"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 initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."

"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."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."

"The management could be a bit better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"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 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."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"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."
