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…

Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"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."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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 contacted their support once, and the process was slow, which discouraged further contact."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The recovery backup has been problematic."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"When compared to other products from other vendors, it is somewhat difficult. Comparing it to competitors, it is slightly less intuitive than Commvault and NetWorker."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
 

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 product's price is high."
"Appliances do not come cheaply."
"We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us."
"The product is expensive and comes with a yearly license."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is priced well compared to other solutions."
"The licensing costs are approximately 150,00 Saudi Riyals."
