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…

Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"It has mainly given us peace of mind knowing that our backups are going to work, and we will be able to easily restore our data, if needed."
"The solution boasts good retention, as it is global in a single platform and, since they have their own appliance, it is scalable as well."
"Within the system, we have rule-based access control, single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and basic identity and access management features."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"All backups are working flawlessly."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"Faster backup and restores, reduced costs of backups."
"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"I think Cohesity DataProtect could be improved because I do not prefer when it works with vendors to protect data in tape and other vendors for bare metal, as it passes responsibility to them."
"The error handling could be improved."
"It should have quicker restore times."
 

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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"There is monthly licensing."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
