Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Project Manager at Capgemini
Has supported secure data storage with incremental backups and centralized monitoring
Azure Backup supports all the features that we need, so additional features are not an immediate need for me. The documentation for Azure Backup seems okay for me; it is good overall, but it should be more descriptive for each item. It should elaborate more on how backup and restore are fulfilled in different scenarios. One of the reviews indicates that Azure Backup needs improvements for specific backup options beyond just full VM snapshots. I believe it should be improved actually. Regarding specific backup options, I say there should be improvements compared to how they provided them in older days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The principal use is as a backup solution for the Azure environment because we use 365 solutions."
"Microsoft has done a good job of providing a native backup solution with very affordable pricing."
"I am really satisfied with this solution and support."
 

Cons

"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"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."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The management could be a bit better."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"Areas of Azure Backup that have room for improvement include the VM backup, which creates multiple snapshots. When I select a snapshot every two days, it creates numerous snapshots, but during restoration, it provides only very few of them for the full restore."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"In terms of tech support, I'm disappointed with support."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The interface needs improvement and it doesn't offer as many features as other third-party backup solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"We have enterprise-level pricing. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Price-wise, it's similar to AWS."
"Considering the fact that our company's enterprise-sized customers use the solution, the product's price is fine and is not on the higher side of the spectrum."
"It is a bit costly initially, but it is well worth it in the long run, especially for fighting against a number of threats, such as ransomware, which the IT industry is facing."
"It is a very cheap cloud solution."
"Pay as you go is the pricing model."
"Azure Backup can be expensive if you are not vigilant about your storage steering."
"The price is pretty good, maybe $30 for a machine, I can't complain."
