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

"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"I would recommend this solution to other companies because it's an enterprise product that suits all requirements."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"It offers seamless integration."
"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."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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 wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The management could be a bit better."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"The solution is quite technical. I wouldn't describe it as user friendly."
"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."
"Connection with more legacy data services could be beneficial as some are currently unsupported."
"We have a concern with the backup when we are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
 

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."
"Pay as you go is the pricing model."
"We have enterprise-level pricing. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Comparing the pricing with other technologies, Azure Backup is more affordable for customers. It follows a pay-as-you-go model, where we pay according to our consumption."
"The product is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"It is a very cheap cloud solution."
