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…

High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.

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."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"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 uses minimal resources."
"The solution is the best for me, as it combines two solutions for use of our backup environment."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"This solution is flexible, powerful, and fast."
"The product is quite stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, and its performance is good."
"I connect these Veritas NetBackup Appliance because they are highly stable and stronger, therefore we don't require so much maintenance to use these appliances."
 

Cons

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"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."
"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."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The reporting feature can be improved. At the moment, we can't acquire the exact information we need from NetBackup."
"The recovery backup has been problematic."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises. If they can review the prices, we feel it would be beneficial, especially for the African market."
"Our main challenge was deciding on the right capacity for expansion, but once we settled on two NAS servers with sixteen TB, things have been smooth."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Veritas support needs improvement. They contact you on time and follow up on time, but they are unable to understand the problem and develop a solution."
"It's difficult to make a switch with the tool because the actual physical storage doesn't work with anything else."
 

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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"This solution is expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is priced well compared to other solutions."
"I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a nine."
"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."
"The licensing costs are approximately 150,00 Saudi Riyals."
"The solution is not cheap"
