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…

Near-zero downtime has protected critical workloads and now simplifies hybrid cloud recovery
The best features of HPE Zerto Software are mainly very sophisticated and relevant to the current market. The data protection CDP part has real-time replication, unlike other solutions that have snapshot backups. We can set it up hourly, making it ideal for use with workloads. Another attraction is the near-zero RTO, with automated failover within minutes and one-click failover and failback. Currently, we are using a hybrid cloud solution, and HPE Zerto Software supports multi-cloud environments, making it easy to migrate between on-premises and cloud. Regarding the impact of HPE Zerto Software on our RTOs, we have near-zero RTO, meaning the system must be back online within thirty minutes if we measure the time. It is very quick to recover services. With HPE Zerto Software's near-synchronous replication, we have some CDP protection, so we typically write interceptions along with some asynchronous replication. There is almost real-time replication available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"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."
"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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"The replication and recovery features are the most valuable... On two occasions, other departments in our organization reported issues with specific virtual machines. We used the checkpoint feature of the Zerto to enable the recovery of those machines to a point that was a few minutes prior to the problem."
"It helps with business continuity."
"What I appreciate the most about Zerto is that it is the easiest to install, upgrade, and manage."
"Zerto has helped to reduce downtime with several customers; for example, we had a customer who had many of their VMs encrypted, with about 40 to 60 terabytes worth of data that would have taken days to recover from backup, but we were able to bring them up at the DR site and get them up and running within hours, avoiding millions in potential costs and a major ripple effect in the title industry."
"Continuous protection is Zerto's most valuable aspect."
"The ability to have a RPO of seconds has enabled us to restore data to just before an incident has occurred, which certainly saves a lot of time and money."
"HPE Zerto Software has saved me time in data recovery situations due to something like ransomware because we have protection against it."
"The near-synchronous replication is key. That has allowed us to provide the low RPOs that we promise. For key systems, that has been the deciding factor."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"We've also found that certain situations will not work for us since we haven't finalized the air gap vault in place, and we know that using some simulated ransomware attacks would cause problems, so we wouldn't be able to recover."
"When I have a technical question, it sometimes takes a while for tech support to respond."
"Regarding HPE Zerto Software, the learning curve is where I see room for improvement."
"We encountered some issues during Active Directory recovery."
"This solution could be improved by including some sort of compression or de-duplication for the same type of files."
"We have discontinued using HPE Zerto Software."
"They have moved to appliances, and the configuration of appliances is a bit complicated."
"Their support team didn’t have all the answers, and some of the cases took far too long to address, especially on critical systems that needed to be operational for our DR events."
 

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."
"Pricing is kind of expensive, but for what we get, it is probably worth it. I know they just had a huge price increase due to the VMware stuff getting expensive, which added about a thousand dollars a month to our bill."
"Compared to other options like SRM, Zerto is a more expensive solution, making it primarily suitable for larger organizations."
"It is not the cheapest product; it is not the most expensive product, but it works. It is a mid-range product, and it is justified in terms of being pretty quick and easy."
"Zerto is affordable."
"We're getting our money's worth with Zerto."
"Zerto is slightly expensive, but we do see the value in it."
"When we purchased Zerto, we felt it was worth the cost as it would protect us from any potential problems and give us peace of mind knowing that any critical items could be recovered quickly."
"There may be less expensive solutions on the market but with Zerto, you get what you pay for."
