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

"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."

"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."

"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."

"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."

"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."

"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."

"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."

More Asigra pros

"The journaling is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"We can failover to an isolated environment and validate the application without impacting the production environment. We can do more testing in a non-impactful way..."

"For us, the most valuable features are the quick upload time and how the sync works... We have VMware SRM and Veeam, and they have been pretty slow and sluggish."

"Compared to the previous DR replication solution, Zerto has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly."

"Zerto has made the testing and the actual failover process of our replicated virtual machines seamless."

"It's easy to use, setup, and configure. It's also very easy to do a recovery."

"I've found the migration feature very valuable."

"The UI is straightforward. It makes it very simple to group our resources and understand that our production workloads are covered because we can set them up as granular or as non-granular as we want."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."

"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."

"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."

"More integration with leading storage solutions."

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."

More Asigra cons

"It would also be nice if they could find a way to make it where one VM does not impact the entire journal history of the VPG."

"The backup end of this solution could be improved. We tried using it as a full backup solution and it took way too long to complete at least one backup."

"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."

"If I were to nitpick, I would say that I wish I had a better account manager. Our sales guy has changed a couple of times. I would like a little more responsiveness from our account manager. I've had a couple of issues where getting in touch with him has been a little difficult, and I end up just going around him and dealing with support and support has handled it right away."

"I don't have any idea of areas fro improvement."

"The full site recovery is not up to SRM standards."

"With secure boot enabled, which is the case for newer systems, it is not easy to rotate passwords and we would have to reinstall the DRAs."

"The post-configuration part could be improved. For example, it would be super helpful to have the ability to modify DNS. Once the migration is done, we want to do some more modifications to the endpoint."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

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."

"Staffing may be a little thin at times, but as far as budgeting what we buy, the price for this solution has not been so outrageous that we don't buy it."

"The pricing is fair."

"It's very equitable, otherwise you wouldn't do it. It's something that we utilize for the licenses per core as far as what we're backing up. Therefore, it's very cost-efficient as far as the licensing goes. For the amount of stuff that we're backing up and what we're utilizing it for, the licensing is not very expensive at all."

"Zerto previously had a perplexing licensing structure, but they have since resolved it by implementing a unified license."

"One of Zerto's main disadvantages is its pricing structure, which involves significant upfront costs and limited options for startups with minimal initial funding."

"The pricing is straightforward."

"The cost per VM is a bit high."

"Its price is fair. It is very cost-effective compared to the cost of the labor for your workers and associates."
