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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The setup is very easy."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"The tool’s ability to restore files discretely is useful."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"The stability is okay."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."
"If you need to pull data out of it to offload to tapes, that's messy. You have a mechanism for it, but it is painful."
"The product could offer more integration capabilities."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"Dell Avamar could improve by adding more backup features."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
 

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."
"There are licensing costs for Dell EMC Avamar and it is paid annually."
"It is expensive. The maintenance comes with it for five years. So, you buy the whole thing for five years, and your maintenance is included with it, but it's a big chunk of change upfront. We like capital expenses because we can CapEx them. We pay once every five years, so we spend a big chunk of change. You'd have to divide that out by the five years to come up with how much it costs. It's just about three-quarters of a million dollars for five years."
"It's a very high-end solution and comparable to Rubrik and Cohesity."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"This is a fairly expensive solution. It cost approximately 21,000 each year."
"It might not be beneficial to smaller businesses due to its high cost."
"When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
"Dell Avamar is expensive."
