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 backups have transformed our multi-account recovery and now streamline compliance reporting
While N2WS has served us well, there are areas for improvement. The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization. Navigation between sections could be more intuitive, and the dashboard design could be more streamlined compared to contemporary AWS tools. The initial setup process has a steeper learning curve than we’d prefer, especially for complex multi-account configurations. More guided setup wizards would help new team members get up to speed faster. Reporting capabilities could be more granular, particularly around cost optimization metrics and backup performance analytics. Currently, we need to gather information from multiple screens to get comprehensive insights. For future releases, we’d value enhanced integration with AWS native services like Config and CloudTrail for better compliance reporting. More advanced scheduling options that adjust based on application load would also be beneficial. Better support for newer AWS services as they’re released would help us maintain comprehensive coverage as our infrastructure evolves. Additionally, native integration with popular ITSM tools beyond email notifications would improve our workflow automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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 allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"I absolutely love this software and the peace of mind it brings to me and my organization."
"It is an easy-to-use tool, easy to install, very intuitive, and saves time."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"N2WS is a perfect backup solution for AWS EC2 instances and VPC backups, and it has made our backup process and monitoring simple and effective."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"N2W greatly improved our resilience to potential loss of services and allowed us to strengthen our service offering for our customers."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"This is one of the most stable products that I have ever seen."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"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."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"One area where we would appreciate improvement is support for additional AWS native services, such as Lambda function backups and S3 beyond archive."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"They could expand their offering to include Lambda function backups and other native AWS services, as these can be recreated through CloudFormation or Terraform."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"I would like them to make the controls a bit more user-friendly. The UI is a little dated and hard to use."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
 

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."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
