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…

Hybrid backup strategy has improved recovery orchestration and now supports flexible DR planning
I think improvements could be made in Commvault Cloud. Lately what I have seen is that there are AI capabilities that different data protection organizations are coming up with, which basically revolves around tiering of not frequently accessible data to glacier kind of storage, plus bringing in a high level of compression and deduplication capabilities. All those features I believe are there in other customers and they are bringing in new use cases from the AI perspective which I have not recently seen in Commvault. I have seen that Dell does have such features. We recently pitched a solution to the customers where we talked about data tiering and the other AI use cases, identifying the data by itself and autonomously taking decisions on how to tier the data between the different storage classes that we have. Those kind of capabilities that we have proposed to the customer as far as the partner solutions are concerned. I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. The rest of the features pretty much align with the other enterprise solutions that we have in the market. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault.

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."
"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."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"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 integration."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
 

Cons

"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The management could be a bit better."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"The customer support is not good."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The product is a bit complex."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
 

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."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"The solution is expensive. The subscription is based on a monthly basis. There are additional costs that vary depending on the size of the backup."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"One of the most interesting aspects is that the licensing model can be modified. We're paying for our licensing by the client, as opposed to the size of the footprint of the backup, which decreased our cost by about 20 percent."
"The pricing is far better than we had in the past. The license for Dell EMC was not too expensive, but the storage, given that Dell EMC is based on data domains, was pretty expensive."
