Backup and recovery have improved security with VMware integration and faster restore times
Before we start, my only question is that we are only using the Data Protection Manager, so not the full suite. The users using the backup solution mainly consist of me and my colleague. We have integrated it into VMware, so users can restore or take backups of their own VMs, but I am not sure how many are using it because the backups are automatic, and for restores, I think some of them are using them. I would certainly recommend this product for the backup of the VMs, but for the bare metal, I recommend it a little bit less. Overall, I give this solution a rating of eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"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."
"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."
"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 client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"The biggest return on investment for me when using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is that if we had an attack, we would be able to recover in hours instead of weeks or months, which is a lot of risk reduction."
"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."
"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."
"The benefit to my company is that our backup workloads are protected, and that is the best feature."
 

Cons

"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The management could be a bit better."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
