Presently, extensible storage does not support S3 compatible storage and the likes. If VAIO can be utilized when protecting VMWare virtual machines aside from snapshot, this can be a plus factor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asigra has led the way in the space for over 25 years. David and his team have been perfecting this product for for over two decades. I know that my client's data is safe and sound using the Asigra technology and I can restore anything from anywhere with zero hassle. The agentless technology works flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asigra has always used a heavy client/server based management option. I am happy they have launched and are incorporating more and more functionality into their web based management console with each release. Would like to see more functionality in this tool as I find myself relying on the DS-Operator tool more than the web console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Asigra's agentless backup system. I can install the DS-Client on one machine in our customer's environment and it will backup every machine on that network. I don't have to install the program on multiple machines.

Their DS-Operator and Asigra Management Console make it easy to monitor our whole Asigra environment in one plane of glass.

Asigra's support staff is very knowledgeable and their support site has a very in depth knowledge base that has the solutions to most of the issues that have arisen in my use of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting tools and GUI need enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agentless, security, ease of use. The documentation has largely improved since v12 and 13 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The new DS-User GUI. None of our customers use it.

- The Asigra certification Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the best backup solution I have used. Very easy to setup and very user friendly. I have administered other backup solutions like comvault, and symantec. This is by far the easiest and best solution for a Managed service provider. The ability to not have an agent on every server that needs to be backed up is great. No extra overhead on the servers. The tech support is outstanding as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the event log needs some work. The error's that show up in the log sometimes don't make a lot of sense. It takes a while to determine what the actual failure is.

The backups don't work well over small network pipes. We have many customers that we support that don't have a high bandwidth circuit so the backups could run for days for a large amount of data. And then after running for so long, the end up failing anyway.

the intuitiveness of the software, it lays out the information simple for your understand and function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

currently i have not met on anything i dislike about this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the solution is VERY salable and robust. We are a MSP and there is very few products that offer the security needs we require and also the speed. For DR tests, backing up and restoring data Asigra does it all and does it well. Their tech support is great and knowledgeable. When we have had emergency issues over the years I have always gotten prompt excellent support, whether it is account team or tech support. They also have a features add forum where the developers put more time towards the requested items to make the product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the reporting on storage trend growth or custom reports can be not user friendly. The install process and setting up backups can be a bit overwhelming for a new administrator but with proper escalation of trained support this is easily overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the fact that this is an agent-less backup system. As an MSP we setup multiple customers and not having to install an agent on every server is great time saver. Also we are now learning about the new AMC. I think its a great tool. integrating an antivirus to help protect against ransomware is amazing. I look forward to implementing this server in our environment soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The retention settings can be a little confusing. Another draw back with Asigra is that support is usually a few versions behind Red Hat Linux. We had an issue with a customer who was liked to update Red Hat within a month of the update coming out. We had to have them drop the service pack of Red Hat just to install Asigra. Researching errors can be a little cumbersome on the support site. Unlike other products where a quick google search will solve most of your issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During ACA and ACS Asigra certification, I realised the power of this backup solution. DS-User friendly environment, give access to everything. From the way you want your environment to look, to security, configuration like create different users, backup sets, retention rules, schedules, observing event logs, errors and warnings, controlling backup bandwidth and a lot more. And this is just the DS-User. There are different tools like DS-Operator for service providers Administrators, DS-NOC web interface and many more. Backup and restore of file systems, folders on different OS or VMs become an ease case for any user. The tool give accurate information for backups and restores and guides the user to reach successful results. And on the top of that, our backup and our customer's backup are protected from Attack-loop. In any case there is a free access on a huge knowledge base where Asigra support helped users with their difficulties or problems and all cases are published for everybody. I cannot think a better agentless cloud backup solution where all function properly and in case of an issue, Asigra support team is present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asigra Cloud Backup is a simple but complex solution. It is not that I dislike it but if someone wants to reach a certain level a certain time must be spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that we do not get nervous when a customer asks us to restore data for them. We have never had to tell a customer that we would not be able to get their data back to them.

We protect a large group of Independent Drug Stores in the Southeast and Asigra a solid solution, with FIPS 140-2 Certification, when healthcare related data is involved. Asigra allows you to address the strictest compliance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd have to say the GUI interface, however with the Management Console, some customer/user facing controls are much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asigra is still one of the true do it all backup solutions that is on the market with the ability to protect so many different types of data. There are very few solutions that I have used in the past or use to this day that have the ability to protect such a wide range of platforms with a single solution. A lot of other solutions are focused solely around protecting at image levels giving you the entire VM back as quickly as possible which I agree is essential for fast DR however there is very little integration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, DB2 and so on in these solutions with the only way to get the data back performing an Instant VM. While that works Asigra allows you to control exactly what you want to take and how often you want to keep it with powerful retention rules making data storage way more efficient, why keep an image of an entire machine for 7 years when what you actually need is the database and only the latest server image. Asigra is second to none in this scenario.

Asigra have always been very security focused and with the FIPS 140-2 accreditation gives peace of mind to end users and service providers knowing that their data is secure which in the modern world of compliance is something that is essential and something that Asigra has had baked in for many years.

The entire solution is very wan and storage optimised ensuring that data is transferred offsite as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure you can follow the 321 rule and get your data air gapped to protect against ransomware.

One of the biggest benefits for Asigra is its agentless nature allowing us to protect environments without having to worry about deploying lots of different agents. This is especially beneficial for protecting Cloud resources such as AWS, Azure and Google hosted environments as you can protect various different resources easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of Asigra's strongest features is always its biggest weakness, the wan and storage optimisation that ensures data is sent offsite as quickly as possible and stored as efficiently as possible can limit the speeds at which it restores. Asigra at present cannot compete with some of the other backup solutions with Instant VM and recovery so DR is slower than other solutions when you want to recover an entire machine however when you want data from years ago it is leaps and bounds ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Asigra for over 15 years I know that if it's been set up correctly by an experienced trained engineer then it will restore what you have backed up and restore is the key to any backup solution. Asigra will restore your valuable company data if the worst happens.

Asigra has vast support for many different types of Operating Systems and Applications. Agent-less design means there is less management required of the solution and as its a secure FIPS 140-2 certified solution it ensures the data it backed up remains secure and can be restored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There will be lots of reviews regarding dated GUI's which Asigra are addressing but if you know the solution and the GUI's they are easy to use and configure.

As Asigra is secure and has a great compression algorithm it means data cannot always be restored as quickly as some other solutions but it will restore the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asigra Cloud Backup is a straight forward and powerful tool for backing up anything you would need in a typical production environment. Its really helpful to have one product that can backup everything as opposed to hoping between different services. It is easy to create new backup sets using Asigra. Monitoring backups and investigating errors is simple because they give you the tools to do so. The install process is simple and the scheduling feature is powerful.
