Asigra Reviews

Asigra does not require any agents to be installed - it's a much more effective (and less labour-intensive) solution than the agent-based alternatives out there.

It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software. It gives customers peace of mind that their data is in safe hands.

The UI could do with a facelift.

I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups. On top of that, having multiple retention copies always helps when trying to restore from a virus/spyware attack. The ability of being able to backup Linux has also been helpful to ours/client servers, as its multi-tenancy scalability.

Customers know they can depend on us for retrieval/storage of their files.

I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V. I know it is coming in 13.1, but I have yet to see the exclusiveness as VMware has. When I went to the Asigra Partner Summit this year, a new, not yet in place, feature for Hyper-V was in the works. Right now, the product is more VMware centric when it comes to replication and ability to backup images.

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.

As above, vastly improved user down time on important data that has been deleted. Tapes could often take hours if not over a day to retrieve, now that issue has been eradicated.

For me it does what it needs to.

2 years.

No issues with deployment.

No issues with stability.

No, have easily scaled up as we've increased the amount of data we now hold.

From the limited contact I've had it's been very good.

Excellent, always at the other end of the phone with a solution to most of the few issues we've had.

Just tape storage with a local firm.

I wasn't involved in this but from the sounds of it it was very simple. Most of our servers are virtualised so we just needed to set them up and our supplier did the rest.

Through a vender, they knew what they were doing and there was very little if any down time.

Symantec cloud was the only other product and it came down to cost, you had to install the client on all the servers which was done with a fee, with Asigra there's no such problem which makes it very cost effective.

Worthwhile, possible the initial setup of the hardware is costly but once you're going the costs are relatively cheap, it's the data costs that can rack up.

Its automation, security, optimisation, simplicity, reliability, very high recovery rates, and ability to protect so many different platforms.

It frees up technical resources, because once it is setup, it just runs.

More integration with leading storage solutions.

Since 2008.

No.

No.

Asigra technical support is outstanding.

No, we selected Asigra from day one.

Setting up our N+1 Asigra infrastructure was straightforward. Provisioning client environments vary according to how well their systems and software are setup.

Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market.

It's very good.

It's very good.

It was straightforward.

We did it in-house.

80%.

Always keep an eye on the competitions’ price.

Veeam, which we also use.

Take the training courses to get the most out of it.

Backing up to the cloud

Replaced an ageing tape backup product and reduced administration.

Data encryption due to the speed of restoring multiple files

6 months

Limited issues around configuration and backup client on different platforms

Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software

None encountered.

Very good indeed.

Again, very good technical support

Used a tape solution, cloud backup is easier to manage to and administer.

Complex especially around testing.

Through a vendor with a very high level of expertise.

2-3 years of reduced administration costs.

£2k per month plus £5k setup.

No, this was the market leader and a proven technology.

For large numbers of file restores it is advisable to also have an onsite NAS device for faster restore times.

One product that can back up almost any platform or application. Windows, Mac OS X, Unix, SQL databases, SharePoint, Oracle, Exchange, Android, iOS, and clouds services like Office365 and Salesforce.

You install the client on one computer in the network, and you use this to backup any other servers or applications in your network. You don’t need to install software on the servers that you are backing up.

It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution. It has been on the market a long time and is well developed. All backup data is encrypted, and with the correct configuration only the end user can access their data with the right encryption key.

They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded. However, I haven’t used the ServiceDesk that much.

Agentless framework, simple implementation & configuration.

Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI.

Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive.

2.5 years.

No issues with deployment.

We did not encounter any issues with stability.

None.

I would rate the customer service a 3/5.

I would rate the technical support a 3/5.

No.

Straightforward.

In-house implementation.

No.
