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

"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"The backup capabilities and the automatization of the backup - along with the potential to make the back up on a virtual machine - are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"When it was required that data had to be restored for our customer, it was accomplished successfully and this has kept our end users satisfied."
"Dell NetWorker allows for extensive customization, supporting various open-source databases like PostgreSQL."
"Good scalability and virtual environment protection."
"The most valuable feature of Dell NetWorker is its quick configuration and handling of large databases."
"The software is quite complicated and useful for large corporations using different information systems."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."
"The security features need backup and encryption. It would be nice if they added this feature. I would also like to be able to decrypt when restoring the security features. Hackers can sense these vulnerabilities today, and we need to have our enterprise prepared."
"The price could be cheaper."
"When you're working with VMware, you need to use vProxy machines. You have to install the vProxy for every host in the VMware environment."
"When it comes to the stability of the product, some of the stores that have bad connectivity have some challenges backing them up because they operate remotely, the connection is slow, and it takes longer to manage the backup stuff."
 

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."
"The licensing model can be traditional licensing or capacity-based licensing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product compared to one of its competitors."
"The price of the license could be cheaper and it would be a benefit if they came up with a new pricing model. The competitors here in Oman sell universal licensing where a number of virtual machines are hosted at the customer place which can be licensed, or you can license the CPU sockets in those servers. However, NetWorker offers only CPU sockets or overall storage capacity to backup, but there is no universal licensing where you can provide a number of VMs. They should offer more options to stay competitive with other solutions, such as Veeam."
"Earlier, users had to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the product. The licenses were expensive but users used to get the best device to use."
"If you purchase Avamar, NetWorker is free with Avamar, for one terabyte license capacity."
"The price is a little on the high side, but it's reliable and provides a good service."
"There is a licensing fee."
