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

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

"The licensing model is very good."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The solution has been very stable."

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

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"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."

"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."

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

"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."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"The price is reasonable."

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

"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."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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."
