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…

Near-zero downtime has protected critical workloads and now simplifies hybrid cloud recovery

The best features of HPE Zerto Software are mainly very sophisticated and relevant to the current market. The data protection CDP part has real-time replication, unlike other solutions that have snapshot backups. We can set it up hourly, making it ideal for use with workloads. Another attraction is the near-zero RTO, with automated failover within minutes and one-click failover and failback. Currently, we are using a hybrid cloud solution, and HPE Zerto Software supports multi-cloud environments, making it easy to migrate between on-premises and cloud. Regarding the impact of HPE Zerto Software on our RTOs, we have near-zero RTO, meaning the system must be back online within thirty minutes if we measure the time. It is very quick to recover services. With HPE Zerto Software's near-synchronous replication, we have some CDP protection, so we typically write interceptions along with some asynchronous replication. There is almost real-time replication available.

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."

"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."

"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."

"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."

"The solution has been very stable."

"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."

"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."

More Asigra pros

"This product is impressively easy to use. It's dummy-proof, once it's set up."

"What I like most about Zerto is that it makes my job much easier. I have peace of mind knowing that it works. The replication time and the minor amount of time it takes to sync a new server outside of any of my huge 40-terabyte boxes is ridiculously quick."

"Zerto is 400 times better."

"It's easy to install."

"We can spin up our environment in DR without affecting production, which is probably the biggest feature for us. We have the ability to do passive testing. We can even test scenarios, such as installing software or changing software. We can make modifications without affecting our production environment. So, the test functionality of being able to test the failover solution and being able to bring up our virtual machines in a test mode is the biggest benefit."

"The dashboarding shows recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives, indicating seconds or minutes remaining, which is useful."

"I am quite familiar with the user interface. It is easy for me to operate and perform different operations because I am an experienced user. In my opinion, the user interface is easy to understand and operate. The user interface is user-friendly."

"Using Zerto for the migration was incredibly valuable, enabling us to save tremendous amounts of time."

Cons

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."

"More integration with leading storage solutions."

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."

"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."

"The UI could do with a facelift."

"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."

More Asigra cons

"I need to get up to the latest version so I can move my journals to a particular LUN, saving them with a particular storage altogether, rather than with the virtual machine. This is not available until I upgrade, and I need to upgrade all my hypervisors. This would be something that would be nice to have if it could be used on older versions."

"More user support would be best for me because I'm not in the product all the time. So, having strong support is probably the most important decision on any products that we buy."

"The overall management plan could improve. If something happens with the VM on the vSphere side, the error codes are pretty weak. If there was a way to click on something within the UI that takes us to a support page or article, that would be very beneficial."

"Zerto could improve its pricing and customer care. I've never used customer care, but I talked to someone who had, and they weren't given the information they needed."

"The main issue with Zerto is its user interface, which lacks flexibility and presents a steep learning curve."

"The challenge we faced occurred during a DR for a database server running on SQL Always On. We experienced a database crash and logged a case with Zerto about a year ago. They said that they do not support Always On."

"Needs better reporting."

"If something happens, and we are out and about, I would like to be able to interface with it on our mobile phones. That would be great."

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."

"Zerto is pretty reasonable. I haven't checked to see how much Rubrik is going to quote us for their solution. At least for us, the price doesn't play a big factor in the decision-making because it is a pretty small deployment for our use case."

"The last time I looked at pricing, it was very good. It's much cheaper by far than VMware."

"When we purchased Zerto, we felt it was worth the cost as it would protect us from any potential problems and give us peace of mind knowing that any critical items could be recovered quickly."

"If you are an IT person and you think that DR is too expensive then the cloud option from Zerto is good because anyone can afford to use it, as far as getting one or two of their criticals protected."

"Obviously, it would be nice to have it for free. Nevertheless, a lot of effort has gone into making it a top-notch product. An excellent product with expert support is never going to be cheap. I think it's fairly priced for what it does and the benefit it brings to our business."

"Zerto is more cost-effective than Azure."

"Its price is reasonable. I have not worked with other tools, but as compared to its competitors such as VMware, its price is lower. So, in my opinion, its price is good."

"While we find the twenty-five VM license somewhat inflexible, the actual setup costs are minimal as the product is so easy to install."
