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

"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"The advice that I have for people looking into using Carbonite Server is that it seems reliable and easy to use."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"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."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"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."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"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 support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
