A reliable backup product which needs little management
For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count."
"The advice that I have for people looking into using Carbonite Server is that it seems reliable and easy to use."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
 

Cons

"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"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."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"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."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
 

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 solution is open source."
"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."
