The DS-Operator allows for easy management of multiple clients which really suits our business needs.
Once properly configured you hardly run into issues with linking because of the software itself.,The user interface could use a facelift.,7,Symantec Backup Exec, Altaro Hyper-V Backup and Veeam Backup & Replication,Veeam Backup & Replication, Altaro Hyper-V BackupNjaal MichelsenAsigra Backup Solution2015-01-13T17:45:13.197ZManagement of the company is poor at best. They do not care about the clients unless they are huge. We have been bounced between accounts managers at least 4 times in the last 2 years. Ability to resolve account issue is poor, most times you do not get an acceptable response.
Asigra is solely used as a Backup product. We use Asigra to backup servers (physical and virtual), applications and desktops/laptops. Asigra is used when its placement and product limitations fit a clients requirements. We have been able to address the ability to automate process and backup set creation using the Asigra platform.,Templating of backup sets and client settings

Analyst Reports,We would have taken the Management at Asigra into consideration as the Management is not very customer aware and will not work with you for Training.

In-person training
Self-taught,5,1,No, manuals contradict itself and common knowledge is learned through trial and error of the product. Training is required as the manuals are extremely lacking and best practices are not made easily available without a support case.,1,Go through training, but keep in mind their training is full of errors and misinformed information which they refuse to resolve.,Some - we have done small customizations to the interface,Yes - we have added extensive custom code,Yes,1,Yes,No.,None,Each part of asigra requires an additional application to be installed to manage

It is not training, just a test. They give you poorly documented manuals which are included in the product and then charge you thousands to take a test.

Its key features for me are: Agentless Architecture, WAN Optimisation, Incremental Forever, Encrypted at Source, FIPS-140-2 Certification. These features give service providers and customers the confidence that their data is protected and secure.
Asigra Backs up the data, and restores it when you need it. What more do you need?,Asigra's agentless architecture means it's much less labour intensive than agent-based alternatives.
Encrypted at Source gives the customer and service provider the confidence that their data is secure.
Continuous Development of the Asigra product suite by Asigra's dedicated engineers in Toronto means Asigra continues to protect data in the latest IT environments. Be that in the Office, Mobile Device, Cloud or Data Centre.,File Level restore from Windows Hyper-V VHDX backups. This functionality is possible in VMware VMDK backups.
DS-System GUI is outdated and needs bringing up to the same level as the new DS-User GUI.
The reporting could be slicker of the DS-System to DS-System Asigra Replication which provides a second Geographically separate copy of the data.,10,Customer Confidence. If Asigra backed it up, Asigra will restore it.
Asigra's agentless architecture means its much less labour intensive than agent-based alternatives because matching agent revisions with operating system levels, researching compatibility issues, and other labour intensive tasks are non-existent when using the Asigra solution. It's also much easier to support, with the usual risks of agent-based solutions greatly reduced.
The Asigra brand was a relatively unknown backup and data recovery solution even though it has been around for nearly 30 years. This is mainly due to Asigra not selling direct and instead using service providers. Asigra has remedied this over the last decade with strong marketing strategies, inclusion in the first and subsequent Gartner Magic Quadrant for enterprise backup software and integrated appliances along with a vast range of other strategies meaning Asigra has now become an established known solution in the market.,Veeam,,8Jeremy WyattAsigra Backup/Recovery review. Why should you choose this product?2014-10-28T20:50:49.412ZAsigra is used across our whole organization. We have Asigra installed in 5 Data Centers, some DC's are used as Replication to Primary Vaults in others. Asigra solves the business needs of data protection and data retention, with the added benefit of simple server/system recovery (DR). Since Asigra is Agentless, there is an easy process for updates, upgrades and, we don't worry about security "holes" in our systems.,Asigra's Agentless Backup and Recovery solution protects many various platforms and services... servers, virtual machines, endpoint devices, DB's/Apps, Salesforce.com data, etc... no more multiple point solutions to manage. Agentless means less complication, less installation, configuration and management of individual servers. Asigra provides us with a Secure, Reliable, Scalable and easy to administer and manage solution.
We get Recovery and Restoration assurance with Asigra. features such as Autonomic Healing and Validation Restore ensures our data recovered is consistent and accurate, and we can recover our data successfully, every time.
Secure and Compliant solution. As a public company, we appreciate the Security and Encryption methods from Asigra. The solution encrypts information at the source using a FIPS 140-2 certified algorithm, ensuring our data is secure both, in-flight and at rest... great for SOX and HIPAA requirements.
Automation and efficiency... We can schedule and automate the backup process, thus reducing the need for manual intervention and freeing up time of our IT staff for other projects and activities. The Asigra process is very efficient
We can manage the solution and all its components from a single pane of glass and, with the hardward/software agnostic behavior of the solution, we can mix and match the way we protect, regardless of operating systems, virtual platforms, applications, storage arrays or cloud deployment models,We would like to see Asigra come out with a Replication Model for quick Recovery of systems upon Disaster. We can have quicker recovery, DR, with Virtual Machines but we would like to have Physical Machine recovery in less than 2 hours. Replication can accomplish this...
We would like to see Geolocation and remote wipe for endpoint devices
We would like to see the solution provide easy "roll back" after a disaster.,9,Using the Asigra platform, we have been able to provide much better customer service to our clients, with increased visibility into the health of clients backup and recovery processes
Using Asgira, we have a much more efficient process, from backup and recovery, through DR and even Billing individual departments or end users
We now need less technicians managing backup processes, freeing up their time to work on other services providing DR and Infrastructure as a Service,18,,Backup and Recovery with long term retentions. 7 daily, 5 weekly, 12 monthly and 7 annual retentions for compliance
Server Disaster Recovery. after hardware failure, restore system to previous state, before crash or before corrupted data.
Protect Laptops in field.,We have used Asigra as a data migration tool... to backup data to another data center, then recover system state.
We have used Asigra to migrate SANs from one vendor to another.,File sync and share, coming in next release
Laptop geolocation and data wipe, coming in next release
Replication of servers from site to site, without going back to Data Center systems,9,Implemented in-house,8,9Matthew P. GrossoI love simplicity in my life & those that talk common sense2015-08-21T21:34:26.557ZOriginally as a Commercial Property Solutions company Fasset Ltd took the decision following 9 months of research and due diligence to implement Asigra across our UK sites to simplify our Backup process and anticipating the level of data growth, lower the risk to us as a business. This quickly moved to setting up a completely new division within our company called Fasset Technologies to resell Asigra to the Tenants at our sites. Within 12 months this is now in operation across our portfolio and to many of the business within.
What problems does it address for us?
1) Consolidation of Backup Platforms into one solution
2) Lowers our business risk
3) Supports the Backup of Microsoft 365 data following our recent migration
4) Enables us to support our remote sites with a Resilient Data Continuity Solution
5) From a BCP point of view it has enabled us to meet our planned objectives for RTO / RPO,One solution / window to control all of your backup & recovery requirements.
Fantastic de-dupe / compression to ensure best value. Our average has been circa 30% of its original size.
A pricing model that makes common sense. You pay for the amount you backup and you pay a recovery sum based on historical usage.
The security encryption levels mean that we can support businesses of all types and in still confidence in them.,Before Version 13 the GUI was seen as a barrier to its success. Since Feb 15 this has been improved.
Endpoint Devices - This is there but has not all the functionality seen in many bespoke products for mobile / tablets etc. From my understanding Asigra have 3 more version updates in the coming 12 months that will improve on this. For me it was a small price to pay for a product that does everything else so well.,9,Customer Service - The ability to switch a business back on in within 30secs of a key server going down is where the future is.
Productivity - Internal resource time required to managed the backup solutions across our portfolio has dropped by at least 50%.,Martyn Randell
