Positive impacts seen with improved data security and reliable support
I have six months of experience with the product, and as a consultant, the use cases for NetApp AltaVault mainly stand out for me. Regarding the deduplication feature in the product, I am interested in whether clients are using it. There are different integrations available with NetApp AltaVault, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and I want to understand how they impact data security policies in my case.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Having a solution there that can move data from on-premise into the cloud and back is a massive win."
"We are getting rid of our tape libraries, so this is an alternative to that, we don't have to have 100s and 1000s of tapes, and we are going into the cloud, so this helps us go into the cloud while providing better security for backup data."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data, as you're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The flexibility, being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody, is great."
"Leverage the SE and the technical expertise within NetApp; they offer really great services, and they'll provide you with an honest approach to how to address your business problems."
"Able to reduce administrative burden on tape management."
"We're doing AWS S3 with Glacier with cloud-based backup and the integration is good, as it works with Veeam and Commvault."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
 

Cons

"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"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."
"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."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"To clarify, the catalog feature is lacking, and you need to depend on somebody else."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The initial installation is difficult for my clients who have it on both on-premises and on cloud."
"We have had issues getting to the right person, but once you get to the right person, they are knowledgeable."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"I would like to see more web support."
 

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."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"The price is a bit high."
