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…

Can automatically pull the virtual machines that we have in an environment

I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud. BDRSuite enables you to recover data instantly. When we need to recover data, I only need to start a backup job or a restore job. Depending on the speed of the server and the Internet, it should be able to download the files from the cloud and split them back up the way they were like nothing ever happened. The restore options BDRSuite provides are crucial because we use it for a lot of healthcare companies that have HIPAA requirements. BDRSuite is HIPAA compliant. We need it to be readily available and accessible in case something goes wrong. It lets you schedule backups to run every 15 minutes. I don't believe you can do it at shorter intervals because there's no way the original backups will finish in 15 minutes. It allows you to adjust the schedules. For example, if you don't want it to go during certain times, you can set that up. You can also choose between a full or incremental backup. There are settings you can adjust to make it work how you want it. Incremental backup is crucial because a full backup would increase fees or affect the local server because it would back up the entire volume every time. Instead, it does one full backup—say 12 terabytes— and adds to it in increments of 100 gigabytes, 200 gigabytes, etc. Whenever you want to add a backup job, there's a wizard that pops up telling you how to make a new backup job. It asks you what you want to name it and what you want to back up. Then, it asks you if you want to schedule it. There's an interactive display on how to do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."

"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."

"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."

"The solution has been very stable."

"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."

"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."

More Asigra pros

"We have seen ROI based on confidence and time saved."

"We are quite happy with the latest version and how it works."

"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff."

"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."

"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."

"Vembu helps me deliver an enterprise-level data protection solution and reduce budgets."

"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."

"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."

More BDRShield pros

Cons

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."

"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."

"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."

"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."

"The UI could do with a facelift."

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."

More Asigra cons

"There have been times when the backup hangs and does not complete possibly due to a connection issue."

"It is very easy, unless you know exactly what you're doing, to corrupt the virtual machines and they get locked up. Just brief detail: When you are creating a system, if you don't have absolutely every other little background processes in place, it creates Snapshots of the virtual machines. Once it does that, it then won't be able to have a backup. From that point on you have to destroy the virtual machine, which is completely counterproductive on a large system. There is a fundamental flaw in the setup that can be very dangerous, potentially."

"Vembu's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."

"There is a drawback in the whole approach about how the licenses are managed."

"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."

"The user interface isn't that good. I don't think that the product is user-friendly."

"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."

"The reporting can use some improvement. I still use the old StoreGrid Cloud while I'm migrating the rest of my clients over. I am able to export all of my clients' usage for the month, which I then import into my billing program. It helps me speed up the billing process. Also, I can generate a report that gives me statuses of everyone's backup, which I don't get from Vembu Backup Online either. I would like to have something similar where I can export everyone's usage at any time for all their backups, so I can use that to import them to my billing program."

More BDRShield cons

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."

"For our company, the current price of Vembu against Veeam is a few times cheaper. In our infrastructure, if we picked Veeam, we would have to pay about $20,000 per year. Now, we are currently paying about $2,000 per year for Vembu. You can do the math. The price is great."

"For someone who doesn't want the Application-Aware feature to work, everything else is up to par. The licensing is straightforward. They license it per CPU."

"The price point of this software is good, and I can do everything I need. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, we're on a small business enterprise package, which is half the price of the regular enterprise package. It's super affordable. The features you get for it are enterprise-level. I'm very happy with the pricing."

"The pricing could have been cheaper."

"The pricing of Vembu is one of its strong points. The license is not as much as other competitors, and it has a variety of licensing options: subscription-based, perpetual licenses, and a virtual machine license. You can design whatever license that you adopted to your environment, and that can support your environment without extra cost, providing more than you need. So, you can design a license that fits your environment and budget. The pricing is very good and can be used when the budget is tight."

"It is affordable. It has value with respect to the features included in the software."

"The price for BDRSuite is justified."

"Take a look at the pricing and licensing closely. When we installed the BDR disaster recovery server, which is the duplication of the backup data on one server onto a second one where the backup data resides, it was not clear that this DR server needed two other licenses. These licenses were to back up the copy of the first backup server that had two licenses for the two physical host that it was backing up in the first place. Moving files around to a second DR server, why would I need an extra two licenses? I don't know if it's to make money, but it was not very obvious and I had to abort the project from there because I didn't plan to pay for extra licenses to copy data of the first two physical servers. I also didn't understand why it was needed. Hopefully, they will improve the explanation in the documentation for this."
