Reliable backups have protected email and servers and now enable rapid ransomware recovery
For the smaller Datto SIRIS devices that are made for backing up one or maybe two different machines, adding more RAM and giving it a better CPU would be phenomenal. Sometimes when dealing with entry-level Datto SIRIS products, you face an issue depending on how much storage there is on there when it's trying to parse through all of the data. It takes a while, and when it comes to data recovery, time is everything. Datto SIRIS should remove the ability to set it up as a NAS-based file share operation system. It seems counterintuitive for something that is made for immutable storage that is walled off so that it can't be destroyed to be allowed to be a local centralized file share that individuals have access to. This seems to be begging for a mishap. Datto SIRIS will require some maintenance when the hard drive gets past 50% capacity, which is Datto's statement on the capacity. You should never use past 50% of the storage locally. Then you have to reach out to Datto directly to get an external hard drive to transfer files to send off the data for it to be shot up to the cloud. We've had a couple of instances of devices not uploading to the cloud because either they were too full or there were failures in certain parts of the file upload to the cloud, which put it into a circle of death where it just kept trying to do the same thing over and over again and had to request assistance from Datto in those situations. Otherwise, if you store it in a dusty cabinet, you have to spray it with a computer duster every once in a while.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been very stable."
"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."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"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."
"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."
"Datto SIRIS works out of the box and it is a key feature that we really appreciate."
"The effectiveness of Datto SIRIS in ransomware recovery is fantastic; I would say it's the best, hands down."
"Definitely, the return on investment has been massive."
"Datto SIRIS has changed my recovery time objectives significantly, as it is excellent, taking minimal time, with a simple and smoother interface that allows for a shorter backup process compared to other applications I have used, such as Commvault."
"Previously, three hours were spent on troubleshooting and everything, but now with Datto SIRIS, issues are resolved in half an hour or less."
"Instant Virtualization is the best feature of Datto SIRIS that we have liked so far, as it allows us to boot servers in minutes during outages."
"The best feature of Datto SIRIS is that we are just two clicks away from remoting into the client environment, and we can fetch all the information in one place."
"Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by drastically reducing downtime, with recovery from server failures now taking just five to ten minutes."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The cost is higher compared to other platforms in the market like Veeam or Acronis."
"I have not seen any reduction in disaster recovery testing hours from Datto SIRIS."
"In my opinion about Datto SIRIS, areas for improvement include increasing speed in recovery processes and strengthening security to enhance the product's overall effectiveness in backup and disaster management."
"For improvements in Datto SIRIS, I would suggest enhancing large-scale virtualization performance and providing more transparent pricing, as that is often complex for MSPs and end customers."
"Cost is a consideration, but in general, we are fairly happy with the value."
"The pricing offered to MSPs for Datto SIRIS is okay, but the ability for MSPs, their upcharge when it comes down to small, medium businesses, SMB clients, is actually putting Datto out of the market for SMB clients, especially with the ability to purchase Dropbox and all these cloud-based storage solutions now."
"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."
"I was disappointed with the processing power and the storage capacity of the ALTO 5 device. Within two weeks of deploying it, I was getting emails that I need to upgrade it."
 

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."
