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 supported flexible multi-platform backups and improved over time
Regarding the effectiveness of Dell NetWorker in terms of role-based access controls, I have experience with it, but I find it somewhat lacking in flexibility as it offers limited features, and I would rate it around seven out of ten. It is not that there is something wrong with the role-based access controls in Dell NetWorker, but it lacks many permissions or roles to assign, providing options only for administrator or user. To improve Dell NetWorker for the next release, I recommend enhancing flexibility in the policy, allowing selection of multiple options within the same policy, and addressing issues like the DNS lookup dependency to make it more controllable from Dell NetWorker itself rather than relying on other applications. Looking forward, I would like to see improved policy features and a more enhanced GUI, as it is still slow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"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."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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."
"Stability and the ease of taking backups are the biggest benefits of Dell NetWorker."
"In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it."
"Storage-wise, EMC is user-friendly."
"The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"Very user-friendly with a good interface."
 

Cons

"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."
"The initial setup is complex."
"NetWorker isn't scalable - you can't add more nodes to it, although you can add some data zones."
"In a larger environment with multiple servers types and network security zones, it’s a complex installation to ensure stability with performance."
"To integrate with the library and Oracle, we must make multiple changes to the OS and the database."
"There should be total integration of the replication and cloud logistic back up on cloud."
"I was very dissatisfied with technical support."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
 

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."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product compared to one of its competitors."
"The pricing for the telecom, government, and banking sectors is relatively affordable."
"You have to buy the deduplication software separately from the license."
"The licensing model can be traditional licensing or capacity-based licensing."
"They are not cheap."
"It is excellent from the pricing point of view. It is free with Data Protection Suite. Similarly, when you purchase Avamar, Dell EMC NetWorker is free with one terabyte license capacity. Its price is very competitive."
"There is a licensing fee."
"The tool is pricey."
