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…

Can automatically pull the virtual machines that we have in an environment
I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud. BDRSuite enables you to recover data instantly. When we need to recover data, I only need to start a backup job or a restore job. Depending on the speed of the server and the Internet, it should be able to download the files from the cloud and split them back up the way they were like nothing ever happened. The restore options BDRSuite provides are crucial because we use it for a lot of healthcare companies that have HIPAA requirements. BDRSuite is HIPAA compliant. We need it to be readily available and accessible in case something goes wrong. It lets you schedule backups to run every 15 minutes. I don't believe you can do it at shorter intervals because there's no way the original backups will finish in 15 minutes. It allows you to adjust the schedules. For example, if you don't want it to go during certain times, you can set that up. You can also choose between a full or incremental backup. There are settings you can adjust to make it work how you want it. Incremental backup is crucial because a full backup would increase fees or affect the local server because it would back up the entire volume every time. Instead, it does one full backup—say 12 terabytes— and adds to it in increments of 100 gigabytes, 200 gigabytes, etc. Whenever you want to add a backup job, there's a wizard that pops up telling you how to make a new backup job. It asks you what you want to name it and what you want to back up. Then, it asks you if you want to schedule it. There's an interactive display on how to do that.

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."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"We have seen ROI based on confidence and time saved."
"Short spoken: The end user experience is great and easy to use!"
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"Any organization that is looking to deploy a backup solution in their environment with minimal time commitment and the highest level of confidence in being able to restore their data should be seriously considering one of the Vembu Technologies backup solutions."
"In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, you aren't going to beat it."
"The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"BDR Suite helps us deliver an enterprise-level data protection solution and reduce our budgets."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"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."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"It's not a ten because the accent of the customer support agents is very difficult to understand."
"We had problems, initially in setting it up. There was a major bug and the backup process corrupted one of our virtual machines which was a live customer system."
"It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems. All other vendors let you simply log in to the cloud console and control everything from there, but for Vembu, whether you choose Vembu Cloud Backup or Vembu Disaster Recovery, you still need to install the Vembu software on your on-premise system and configure it from there. It would be great if I can get a cloud console to manage the systems."
"The response time of the support could be improved a little bit. Sometimes, I need to wait for two or three hours to get support. With VMware, we can get urgent support in an hour. Other than that, I'm pretty good with BDRSuite."
"Our initial experience with BDRSuite highlighted the need for improved user onboarding materials."
"The tech support is the one thing - that is not a system issue - but which is a little bit difficult to work with."
"Even though I've paid, I'm still only able to operate in a trial mode, so it's been difficult for us."
"There is a drawback in the whole approach about how the licenses are managed."
 

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."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The subscription model that we're signed up for is very good. The only thing that is something of a sticking point is the fact that you can't do PO-based licensing. It's all just credit card."
"The pricing is good. The tough part is estimating storage needs."
"I selected this solution because it was the only one I could find for the cost that did what I needed it to do. I haven't found a competitor who does as good a job for the money."
"For someone who doesn't want the Application-Aware feature to work, everything else is up to par. The licensing is straightforward. They license it per CPU."
"We chose this solution because it was cheaper and easier to use than Veeam and other solutions of this type."
"It's very affordable. We are very satisfied with the cost. It's very affordable for us."
"Its price is fair, and they still allow perpetual licensing, which is extremely important for us. They also have offline licensing. I am not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, you aren't going to beat it."
