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…

It could include greater transparency regarding the volume of data trafficked on the network, as well as the expectation of deduplication. A more practical strategy could come with a backup policy model as a suggestion for both large and small companies. A simple suggestion is to visually implement the backup time as far as your physical media.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
