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

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"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."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"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."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The backup capabilities are very good, and we find the ability to allow for business continuity to be very helpful."
"In the end, however, you have a really stable solution."
"The customer service and support are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"I like the solution, it works well, the integration to the VMware environment is good, and the documentation is helpful and easy to follow."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance include extension syncing, making copies of the data, expiring images, replication, and speed."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
 

Cons

"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"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."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises. If they can review the prices, we feel it would be beneficial, especially for the African market."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"I don't like the interface of Veritas. It could be improved."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"Veritas support needs improvement. They contact you on time and follow up on time, but they are unable to understand the problem and develop a solution."
"The graphic interface is complex, especially on the management and administrative side, requiring multiple steps for configuration instead of simple clicks in the console."
"Technical support could be improved, the knowledge base is quite low and it's complicated to deal with them."
