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…

High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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 provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"The solution is the best for me, as it combines two solutions for use of our backup environment."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system, and it is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"The encryption feature is very good, the product itself and the new features are excellent, and it is pretty user-friendly compared to other software and very easy to deploy."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications."
 

Cons

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"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."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"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."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"It's difficult to make a switch with the tool because the actual physical storage doesn't work with anything else."
"Most of the organizations I see are going to the cloud and they escape the physical architecture to minimize investment in their local data center as much as possible."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"This solution is very expensive, which is a problem for many companies."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The licensing costs for this solution are very high."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
"It costs more to license support for this solution, compared to others."
"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is competitive. There are different models of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, such as perpetual licenses and subscriptions. Having the choice is good."
"I cannot say whether our licensing costs are on a monthly or annual basis, as we have a global contract."
"We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us."
