Affordable, easy to use, and offers good pricing

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

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."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"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."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"We are now able to perform fast backups and very quick restores, and we have a tool to restore a virtual machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 from about 1 TB in around 2 minutes up to login."
"The big thing, the big benefit, it gives us is that it just works."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions we have made."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"At this point, we have a 100% success rate, which was definitely not the case with any prior system that I've used."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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 wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The same test case in Rubrik takes more than six to seven times longer, meaning the on-premises SLA is significantly faster."
"There are so many things Rubrik has done right. They need to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
 

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 pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
