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

"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"N2WS is a mature and reliable solution that delivers strong value for AWS backup and disaster recovery."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to conduct recovery drills and share information with our customers about our improvements."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by assisting us in areas of cost savings when compared to other tools available, and it has also given us an extra layer of protection."
"Overall, N2WS has transformed our backup operations from a manual, error-prone process into a reliable, automated system that scales with our growing AWS infrastructure."
 

Cons

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"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."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"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."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"They could expand their offering to include Lambda function backups and other native AWS services, as these can be recreated through CloudFormation or Terraform."
"Deployment is one area that could use improvement."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"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."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
 

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."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"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."
"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 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."
