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…

Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.

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."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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 ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."
"I like Vembu because of the price point, the ease of use, the support, and it being full-featured backup software for the needs that I have."
"The solution helps us deliver an enterprise-level data protection solution and reduce budgets."
"Of the software that I license, I feel I get more value from this than any others."
"Vembu has also ensured that the disaster recovery aspect of our business is well taken care of."
"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"You should definitely consider using this tool, as an off-site backup option."
 

Cons

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"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."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"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."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"I saw that it's not possible to have the last full backup duplicated on our site. Therefore, if I have a lot of information on the main site, I would not want to copy any information to those site servers. It would be nice to be able to make a copy of the last full backup."
"We did have a previous solution, but it was almost 10 years ago. We were not happy."
"There is a drawback in the whole approach about how the licenses are managed."
"The reporting can use some improvement. I still use the old StoreGrid Cloud while I'm migrating the rest of my clients over. I am able to export all of my clients' usage for the month, which I then import into my billing program. It helps me speed up the billing process. Also, I can generate a report that gives me statuses of everyone's backup, which I don't get from Vembu Backup Online either. I would like to have something similar where I can export everyone's usage at any time for all their backups, so I can use that to import them to my billing program."
"I had a small problem integrating VMware and Hyper-V when customers used a free VMware license to create VMs. This is a problem because many customers use the free version of VMware. There are also some issues backing up old systems. They have a little difficulty but can always get strong support from customer service."
"About $50,000 of lost revenue due to Research and Development Capital expenditure and labour to setup, we never got the product into a position where it was profitable."
"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."
 

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."
"Previously, we used Veeam Backup, but we replaced it with Vembu. We switched because Vembu is more cost-effective. So, price was a factor."
"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."
"We are saving $6,000 every three years versus having another product."
"The pricing is very good."
"When they changed to the newest version (4.1), they have more VMs allowed on the free version. Before, there were only three VMs allowed on the free version, and if you needed to back up more than three VMs, you had to get the paid version. Now, you can have up to 10 VMs on the free version."
"I've purchased and been licensed for one aspect of it, which is my preferred method, but the pricing and licensing will not work for the short-term and I can't draw back."
"We were able to take advantage of a promotional pricing campaign."
"Its price is reasonable as compared to other solutions. There are no additional costs. While increasing the count on the server-side, we have to take care of managing or optimizing the license."
