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

"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Overall, the solution probably has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars or maybe millions."
"They talk about technology that can just actually do what it promises."
"My impressions of HPE Zerto Software's near-synchronous replication are excellent, as we typically see targets under five seconds, which no one else is achieving."
"Zerto is a flexible and resilient business continuity and disaster recovery solution."
"ZVR is very simple to setup and administer, out of the box it just works and allows me to set my replication source and destinations and nearly forget it."
"It has been a phenomenal addition, and proved its worth in the pilot phase, when it saved us from having to rebuild a machine that was included in our pilot trial."
"It's the easiest to use."
"We work a lot with customers that need disaster recovery and the best possible migration approaches, and Zerto helps them minimize the amount of effort it takes to finish their upgrades or migrations."
 

Cons

"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"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."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"I had to have my colleague contact technical support because we had an issue where VMs in VMware were getting blocked, and we weren't able to delete them."
"It works only for a virtual platform, it does not support bare metal."
"Zerto should add the capability to replicate the same VM to multiple sites."
"To improve HPE Zerto Software, it would be helpful to make it more affordable."
"The tech support on my latest issue wasn't so great. I had to figure a lot of stuff out myself. It could be that I had a Level 1 tech who was new or something, but it seemed like the tech was spitballing, which does not help me."
"Overall, Zerto is doing a very good job. We have experienced a few downtimes on networking. Most of the time, they come up with a solution immediately to sort out any challenge that may affect data flow or data migration. It does not happen frequently. We might experience it once in two months, but when we face any downtime, it does not impact the data."
"From the relationship standpoint, we have never had a local rep in South Bend, Indiana. It has always been somebody in Boston, and there is not a lot of communication. That is one of the big things. We would like help driving the business and talking to our sales people as well as more involvement from them. We could really utilize it more, drawing more customers in, but we need help with that."
"Migration of complex VMware and Hyper-V solution. Using Zerto to replicate to azure and S3."
 

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."
"In a world where others are catching up, e.g., VMware High Availability, there needs to be a less expensive option as well. When a customer has approximately 100 VMs, if you multiply by 40, we aren't charging a very high margin on it at all since the license is so expensive. We feel their pain. That is the most expensive part of it. The storage, CPU, and RAM are a lot less. It is the licensing that is really expensive. Whereas, with an option like VMware High Availability, it is a couple dollars per month. That is our spend that we are charged by VMware, then our margin is higher on those VMs. Giving us some ability to have higher margins, as an MSP, would be a good thing."
"Having backup and DR is somewhat moderately important to us. The problem with us, and a lot of companies, is the issue with on-prem Zerto. It utilizes whatever you have for a SAN. Or, if you are like us, we have a vSAN and that storage is not cheap. So, it is cheaper to have a self-contained backup system that is on its own storage rather than utilizing your data center storage, like your vSAN. While it is somewhat important to have both backup and DR, it is not incredibly important to have both. I know Zero is trying to heavily dip their toes in the water of backup and recovery. Once you see what Zerto can do, I don't think anyone will not take Zerto because they don't necessarily specialize in backup and recovery 100 percent. They do replication so well."
"At close to $1,000 a license, it makes it very hard to protect all of your environment, especially for a smaller shop."
"The pricing is top tier but offers good value."
"Zerto's pricing structure could be more competitive to better suit the needs of a wider range of businesses."
"There may be less expensive solutions on the market but with Zerto, you get what you pay for."
"Zerto is more cost-effective than Azure."
"The pricing seems fair."
