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…

Modern data protection has ensured resilient backups and reliable recovery from cyber incidents
The biggest improvement that we would like to see for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is how it can be part of the storage side of the world versus being a standalone solution. Currently, being a standalone product is neat, but it means we cannot integrate it with our overall storage strategy. I would prefer to purchase Dell storage and use that storage across both my day-to-day storage and the storage for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery. In my current configuration, I have separate hardware for the backup and recovery and the cyber resilience, and I have different hardware for just storage. Integrating these two would be quite interesting. From my perspective, the integration between products is not really an obstacle. What matters more is how we as customers can simplify our technology hardware stack on site. From a software perspective, it would be beneficial if they created a solution where I could see my compute, storage, and backup recovery as a single pane of glass. A one-stop shop with one dashboard would be great. This opportunity exists for improvement. From a hardware perspective, simplifying it so I have less hardware on site would be valuable. I want to reduce my footprint with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery. Reducing footprint is something all manufacturing organizations desire. When you look at all the manufacturing sites around the world, we always have to build a room for IT usage and data center rooms at our facilities. The smaller your footprint, the less cooling and less energy usage you need, which is a win-win scenario. This is what all of us as customers are looking for, which is smaller footprints.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"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."
"In terms of reliability, Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is highly reliable, especially due to its method of backing up data."
"Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery has impacted our overall cybersecurity strategy significantly, because when you move away from protecting your outer walls around your firewalls and educating your people, it has been at the core of protecting our data to ensure that we replicate it and can recover the data that we need."
"The benefit to my company is that our backup workloads are protected, and that is the best feature."
"Using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is a very critical piece of my cybersecurity strategy because it is utilized in situations when I have nowhere else to turn but to my vault."
"What makes Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery distinct—with its three devices: the CyberSense, the Cyber Recovery, and the Dell Data Domain—is that it is not only taking backups and not only taking immutable backups, it has a complete, isolated environment that locks down completely."
"Having used Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for four years, I can say it has helped my business significantly, especially compared to when we were using NetWorker, which was a pain in the ass."
"One of the key advantages of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is the isolation capability, which is very important, along with the intelligence that occurs through analytics taking place inside the vault."
"We have experienced a significant reduction in recovery times since deploying Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, with an approximate reduction of about 60 to 70% compared to our pre-deployment benchmarks."
 

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"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."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"What I would improve about Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is to make it a little more simplistic under the hood, comparable to PowerProtect Data Manager."
"The biggest improvement that we would like to see for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is how it can be part of the storage side of the world versus being a standalone solution."
"The initial deployment took us a lot of time. It requires careful planning, especially regarding networking and the Vault design itself."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, I think the bare-metal part can be improved. My main problem is with the bare-metal recovery."
"One improvement I would suggest for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is making the management interface more intuitive."
"Dell technical support for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery rates a 7 out of 10. A little improvement on both response time and quality would be appreciated."
"I think Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery can be improved by including the clean room as part of the product because currently, the clean room is an additional component, and if it will be part of the CRS, then it will be beneficial."
"I would like more visibility into what is going on with the individual backup images and how they are being scanned, so there are some automation and visibility features that could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
