Technical Team Lead at Eldama Technologies
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…

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

"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore, and as a Microsoft product it is easily compatible with other solutions."
"Azure Backup is easy to manage from a single dashboard."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The benefits I see from Azure Backup are that this solution is beneficial; we can access the data or files in Azure Backup anywhere, anytime, and from a security point of view, we can restrict the access for the parties, and there are many benefits."
"From a cost perspective, it is a very good solution because it doesn't need a lot of costs because it's only a matter of storage on the cloud."
"Microsoft has done a good job of providing a native backup solution with very affordable pricing."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"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."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"It would be beneficial to receive alert messages if something isn't configured correctly, for instance, if service principal names are missing, a message could prompt you to set them up."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"Maybe they could improve the fees. The cost is a bit high."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"In terms of tech support, I'm disappointed with support."
"Azure Backup needs improvements in allowing more specific backup options rather than just full VM snapshots. It lacks features for cybersecurity, such as ransomware protection."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
 

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."
"The price is somewhat high and could be lower."
"The product is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"We do not have any additional costs for Azure Backup."
"The pricing of this solution is good, and it is one of the easiest things that you can sell Azure with."

"The product's pricing is a three or four out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is costly."
