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.

Helps to consolidate D2D backups and has a good deduplication ratio
I was involved with the HPE team in the implementation of the tool which included steps like zone grade configuration, tape grade configuration, etc. The zoning part during implementation was very cumbersome. The tool’s implementation took around one week maximum to complete. One person from the HPE team helped us with the deployment. The tool’s deployment was a big process. We had to first deploy the hardware. Then we needed to connect it to the server. We had to also install HPE’s Data Protector. There were multiple things to be configured such as the configuration of Data Protector with D2D backup.
