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…

Has provided strong data protection and unified access while streamlining backup operations
Cohesity Data Cloud is not unique in this area. There are a couple of other vendors who are playing in the same area. They provide some sort of isolation for the protected data that makes it very difficult, almost impossible to tamper with once it is stored on the platform. One of the major issues of ransomware attacks is that they happen in the background and it is too late after being hit. Giving a hard time for bad actors to access the data provides more immunity for your data from ransomware attacks. All organizations are very interested in as-a-service model where they do not pay upfront costs, but only get the services and pay for what they use. Converting from CapEx to OpEx is the ultimate goal for any financial manager in any organization. The model uses some sort of object storage for the backup data and contents, which gives a better level of safety than the traditional file system because normally the object storage is not subject to alteration. The only concern I have with cloud implementation is that if you have a presence on-premises, trying to use the cloud may become a performance challenge. It is a perfect situation for workloads that live in the cloud. The way I design things is we should not send data across the WAN to the cloud if it is a large volume that could potentially affect performance. A cloud solution is ideal for a cloud workload from Cohesity Data Cloud perspective. It is best to have some sort of local presence of a repository to do the backup using LAN performance. Then we can always send or upload the data to the cloud without impacting the actual backup window. Support for additional platforms and the option to do multi-tier performance would be beneficial. For example, if I have three types of workloads - SAP database, Oracle database, and SQL database - each with different backup window requirements, the ability to tier performance to meet these specific needs would be perfect for the actual workload and meeting the availability requirements of each application domain. The general perception is if it is not broken, do not fix it. In most cases, organizations do not see value for security until they are hit with something bad. With ever-increasing threats and risks of ransomware and data theft, the problem is becoming more obvious. Looking at what is happening in the market and seeing organizations being hit by security threats, the level of loss of services and client dissatisfaction makes security investment worthwhile. There is no real tangible ROI for security, but considering the potential of losing data forever or having it exposed unnecessarily to the market, it is worth the investment. The bad actors and risks are always reinventing themselves, so we must reinvent our security posture.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the 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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"It is easy to install and use."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"The clone feature is very nice. You can restore workloads onto Cohesity's storage, which is also nice to have when you don't have enough space to restore on the server."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"One of the most outstanding features is forever incremental, which provides immutable backups."
"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"It has excellent integration for virtualization, which means we can easily protect VMs, virtual machines, which consists mainly of snapshot backups that are quite easy to recover."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"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 think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."
"The only concern I have with cloud implementation is that if you have a presence on-premises, trying to use the cloud may become a performance challenge."
"That lack of tier-one capability is the only pain point or area for improvement, but they are working on that."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"The downside of Cohesity Data Cloud is that it is not supporting a legacy environment."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
 

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."
"It's priced properly for the market."
"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
