Asigra 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.
- 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

State of the Art Technology
We are Service Providers reselling Asigra for Private Cloud deployments and running our own Public Cloud vault that runs backups for various organizations ranging from small environments comprising of desktop/laptops to enterprises with MS Exchange, databases and file servers.
For our customers, it works as an ideal data protection solution for its capabilities of supporting multiple environments, features and public cloud allows remote data protection also.
- Provides capability of local backups while maintaining remote copies on cloud to ensure faster recoveries of recent data and remote protection of all data.
- Helps reduce cost of long term retention by leveraging the BLM functionality.
- It does not need specialized hardware for it to work. Customers and Service Providers can choose their own infrastructure and do not need to rely on any OS or storage based replication even for deploying replication of backups.
- Supports wide range of environments including virtual environments with remarkable features like remote VDR with incremental restores.
- Image level VM backups need to quickly help doing file level restores.
- Need support for larger environments like Sybase etc. as these databases are catching the market along with SAP.
- Better deduplication on Oracle databases.
- Better Customer pre-sales engagement through Asigra tools like LAN discovery & Statistical backups.
- Better Customer Service.
- Better reputation in market.
- Faster lead conversion.

To be precise, you don't get one single product that has all the features that you have in Asigra.
To begin with is being hardware independent not binding you with a particular hardware. You don't need to worry about licensing based on no. or type of devices, databases & processors OR even features. All of them get licensed the single way.
Features like Agentless architecture (quicker deployment & support), BLM (low cost of retention), inbuilt replication (No hardware or OS dependent DR) & Remote VDR (Automatic incremental recovery of a VM), support for various devices & databases are exceptionally well and I don't see any other product having all these in one.
