Asigra Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We didn't have any backup or recovery tool for our organisation in starting ,so I asked some people and they suggested to give Asigra a try.The main feature which I loved is ,it can be scalable in the backup also ,as it is fully on cloud the security is not a point of concern.

Likelihood to Recommend

The majority of the problems that have come up in my use of the software have been resolved by Asigra's support personnel, who are very knowledgeable, and their help site's extensive knowledge base.I adore the agentless backup technology from Asigra. In our customer's setup, I can install the DS-Client on a single machine, and it will backup every system connected to that network. I don't need to set up the programme on numerous computers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using Asigra as our main solution to provide system backups and restores. This server side application is extremely important to our environment due to handling all of our virtual machines and physical server backups. It's a reliable and efficient tool for this purpose.

Likelihood to Recommend

Asigra does a great job at automating efficient backup jobs. We can schedule and automate the backup process, thus reducing the need for manual intervention and freeing up IT resources that allows them to work on other IT projects and activities. The Asigra process is extremely efficient. Its appropriate for any size business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across the entire organization and it is what we offer to customers when it comes to online backup.

Likelihood to Recommend

Asigra is well suited when we are talking about multiple clients due to the fact that you can easily manage all of them through the DS-operator. You can easily check quotas, how much data they actually use, where you have the clients installed and you can browse customer backup files as if you were using Windows Explorer (capitalizing on the whole ease of access concept).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Originally 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.

<b>What problems does it address for us?</b>

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Due to the security, compliance and regulatory aspects covered by Asigra, it lends itself very well to companies in Finance, Healthcare and Defence. That said, most complex businesses today will benefit from reducing the systems they currently operate. Given that many businesses still operate a tape-based backup Asigra provides the perfect tool to migrate onto which is truly future proofing them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are looking how to address the SMB space and helping customers who's growth necessitates a move from just backup to a comprehensive Business Continuity solution. Asigra allows us to help Resellers manage the technology roadmap on behalf of their customers who need their critical business data protected and available.

<p>Asigra - What can I say. After dealing with enterprise software products for 20 yrs, working with Asigra is a breath of fresh air. To have an offering that has full scale enterprise functionality that can also be used and afforded by SMB customers is a real pleasure. Most enterprise applications get lost in complex modules, pricing structures, hidden costs etc., as the years move on. This has not happened with Asigra, it's kept to it's agile fighting weight and focused on doing what it does best and doing it well. OK - There are some areas like the GUI that could be more intuitive than menu based or not having a mobile app dashboard so you are always aware. However these are cosmetic points and I'm sure will be addressed in future version releases.</p>

Key considerations:

<ul><li>Having a single backup solution vs multiple solutions and managing backup/recovery policies in line with RTO and RPO plans. </li><li>Awareness of future backup needs, e.g. VMs, P/V Server backup, Smartphones, tablets, laptops.</li><li>How to reduce backup/recovery costs as storage needs increase. i.e. only pay for what you recover.</li><li>What's your risk management and mitigation process.</li></ul>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Asigra is being used to provide cloud backup to customers in all sectors, including the health sector.

Likelihood to Recommend

Asigra may be a little overkill for small companies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I implemented Asigra in a previous organisation and I am currently a reseller and service provider for Asigra. It has been used both across the organisations I have worked for and to address specific backup and recovery issues which other solutions were not able to resolve such as backing up SaaS solutions such as Salesforce.

As a user of the solution it offers a revolutionary pricing model which rewards good IT practices by lowering the cost of an organisations' backup and recovery when you have maintained a low requirement for recovery in previous years. It also removes the cost and management overhead of multiple agents across the IT estate.

As a service provider it offers the perfect business model of a cloud delivered, annuity revenue solution, around which you can build a service that will add long term value to your business.

Likelihood to Recommend

Where there is a distributed organisation with multiple systems but a desire for centralised backup, this is a particularly good fit, hence it works well in spaces such as the offshore financial sector. Also, where there are a high number of mobile devices and laptops in the organisation, these can all be backed up with no per device cost as the client software has no cost. Unlike many backup solutions which are owned by storage vendors, Asigra is primarily focussed on reducing your storage requirements rather than selling you more disk.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've been implementing Asigra for over 6 years as Public, Private and Hybrid Clouds. 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?

Likelihood to Recommend

If implemented as a Cloud Service provider (Public Cloud), In House Solution (Private Cloud) or a mixture of both (Hybrid Cloud):

<ul><li>The Agentless Architecture means there are less support burdens. </li><li>Encryption at Source gives the customer confidence their data is secure. </li><li>WAN Optimisation (Compression &amp; Block Level Incremential Forever and De-deupe of Data), enables a large amount of Data to be protected offsite.</li><li>One step Backup to both Local and Offsite storage enables LAN speed restores with offsite peace of mind.</li><li>Asigra Replication from DS-System to DS-System enables another geographically separate copy of the data.</li></ul>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

FCS is a reseller of Asigra and use it to supply cloud based backup and disaster recovery as service solutions to our customers. I personally have been using Asigra for the past nine years now and still believe it to be the best cloud based enterprise backup and disaster recovery solution. Over the years Asigra has continued to improve always wanting to be ahead of the curve utilising new technology and approaches to ensure the best solution possible. As many other reviewers have stated there is never a question of whether the data can be recovered once Asigra has protected it giving ultimate peace of mind to service providers and most importantly the end customer.

Likelihood to Recommend

Asigra can be utilised in all enterprise and small to medium business environments with easy deployment and management. One of Asigra's key features is that it is adaptable and scalable with the ability to deploy and successfully protect data centre environments such as private cloud and companies with multiple remote offices. The military grade security of the product means that customers data is always safe from malicious intent and can be securely stored offsite with quick recovery times as there is no need to wait for tapes to be retrieved. The incremental forever functionality is an excellent feature never requiring master backups to ever be taken after the initial backup, resulting in an extremely fast efficient solution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've been Asigra partners for around 10 years. We provide and support Asigra backup software to our clients because we believe it's the most reliable and effective solution available. Proving it as a fully managed backup service allows in-house IT teams to stop worrying about the time-consuming task of managing backups, and focus on core areas of their job.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited to anyone from single site businesses to multi-national organisations. Traditionally cloud backup services required the installation of a software agent on every client side host server. Even in small environments, that quickly got expensive and complicated to manage, leading to “agent pollution". Asigra does not require any agents to be installed but instead reaches out over the network to back up operating systems, file systems, and applications, using industry standard programming interfaces - it's a much more effective solution.
