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…

It has reduced our backup time, however backups do get skipped
I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client. They moved a lot of the features to their web-based version of it. Because of the large number of databases that we have along with our backup, their web product can't handle it. So, we can't use it. So, we are missing out on a lot of the new features. The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection. Unless you can remember day-to-day that you may have something deselected or selected, your view may be different than you expect, and there is no visual indication of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"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."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"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."
"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."
"It is far better than the native SQL compressed backup utility, and even though we are seeing approximately 1.4 : 1 de-duplication ratio (using compression at Level 3) we've saved so much space that we still have more than 33% free space on our backup appliances."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"I do like the central management console where you can see a global status for all your backups and manage restores."
 

Cons

"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."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"The management could be a bit better."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"Lots of room for improvement. I have never experienced anything as buggy as SQLsafe."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"For a supposedly mature product, it lacks basic functionality that the built-in Microsoft SQL Server backup/restore programs provide and being told we'll be added to interested party list isn't very satisfying."
 

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."
"The product's pricing is a good value. They have a straightforward licensing model."
