We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"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."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."
"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."

"It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light."
"We have been using it for several years and we are very satisfied with how easy it is to configure and set up and run backups."

"The most valuable feature is the support for Linux servers."
"The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization."
 

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"Relying solely on a desktop is a bit frustrating as its GUI isn't exactly responsive."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."
"The interface needs to be easier for adding new devices to be managed."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"Many features have been converted to commercial licensing, which restricts their availability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"We have a perpetual license."
"This is an open-source solution."
