Technical Team Lead at Eldama Technologies
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…

A reliable backup product which needs little management
For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"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 agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"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."
"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"The advice that I have for people looking into using Carbonite Server is that it seems reliable and easy to use."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
 

Cons

"The management could be a bit better."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"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."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"The stability has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The solution is open source."
"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."
