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.

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.

I use Asigra to deliver backup as a service, DR as a service, and archive as a service across Microsoft and Linux operating systems.

It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature.

I have found the remote virtual DR for recovery feature very useful. The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level.

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

I have experienced no issues with the product's stability.

I have experienced no issues with the product's scalability.

The technical support is knowledgeable and provides good support.

I did not use any solutions before Asigra.

Some expertise was required for the initial setup.

It was implemented using an in-house team. Asigra provides good customer support.

Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services.

I implemented other products like EVault and Veeam before switching to Asigra.

Asigra is a reliable solution with high recovery rates.

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.

EVault, Veeam, and Dell EMC.

Try it in a proof of concept.

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.

• Versatility
• It supports multiple OS's
• Physical & virtual
• Application aware
• Short & long-term retention

We can provide a reliable service to our customers.

Cloud-to-Cloud backups.

I've used it for 10 years.

No issues encountered.

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.

Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement. Its capabilities of easily deploying the policies and configurations and supporting wide environments are the most valuable features. You don't need to worry about different options to protect you large environment.

It has helped us protect our customers data very well. Low bandwidth and high latency sites have been keeping Local Copy options. We have got one solution to take care of local and remote protection needs.

Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system.

Retention and data life cycle management, along with deduplication at a global level.

Asigra allows for backup set creation using template files, this allows us to deploy backup sets extremely quickly and efficiently with no error.

The user interface is a bit outdated, but Asigra has acknowledged this and is working on a new interface.

My company has used this product since 2006, I have been using the product since 2011.

If you do not attend their training or use their support then you will have trouble. As long as you complete the training and utilize your support portal, you will have very few issues.

None, its extremely stable. If an event arose that caused a stability issue, a hotfix would be released within a week or less.

None, the product scales and tiers very well.

Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication.

Technical support is great, Asigra is working on ways to make it ever better by creating new case portals which help reduce the time to resolution.

Prior to Asigra we used the Zenith BDR in parallel. Sagiss wanted a product that worked and was reliable and Asigra was that product.

The Asigra setup can and is going to always be complex due to the functionality of the backup product. Oddly enough, the complexity of the product allows for great flexibility and scalability in the long run.

We have always implemented Asigra in-house.

I was not the one the initially implement the product, but I do know it was a steep price. Since I have come onboard I have automated a vast majority of the Asigra system so the overhead and work we do is very basic maintenance and remediation.

We evaluated Zenith BDR, CommVault and Asigra.

You need to make the investment in training and certification to get the most out of this product. Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time.
