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…

Automated workflows have simplified disaster recovery and improve data protection efficiency
For the time being, Dell Data Protection Suite is better because it supports Fiber Channel, 10G, 25G, and stable connectivity. it communicates better, it connects to Tape Drive on Fiber Channel in SAN . The limitation lies in the tape drive or the library have only FC connectivity. That is also better, and I think there are no more improvements needed. We are getting very prompt responses from customers who are satisfied. The additional feature I would like to see in the future to make better compression ratio because customers are mostly asking for compression. Compression depends on the data; if the data includes video, PDF, or images, it cannot be compressed much. Text and other data can be compressed very high with a high compression ratio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."
"Dell Data Protection Suite is a comprehensive suite offering virus-free and ransomware-free data protection."
"I recommend this solution because it is the most complete tool in the market, and Dell Data Protection Suite is a faster and excellent solution."
"Dell Data Protection Suite is a comprehensive product with comprehensive tools."
"Automated workflows have impacted our data protection strategy very positively because we just need to configure them first."
"The essential point is its reliability and fast recovery of information from corporate equipment."

"Dell Data Protection Suite has helped manage our storage costs wonderfully, as we were able to achieve up to 10.56 times deduplication."
 

Cons

"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"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."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"Regarding needed improvements for Dell Data Protection Suite, I think support must be upgraded."
"For now, I find that Commvault and Veeam are stronger in that aspect."
"The biggest frustration I have with Dell Data Protection Suite is the initial setup."
"From a data protection perspective, Dell is moving away from Dell Data Protection Suite to focus on PowerProtect Data Manager."
"The learning curve is relatively steep, the complexity of some advanced configurations is challenging, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"Dell Data Protection Suite could be improved in a few areas based on real-world use."
"Dell Data Protection Suite could provide support for more virtualization platforms."
"The pricing of Dell Data Protection Suite is not much high; it is a little high compared to Huawei."
 

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."
