"Asigra Top Backup Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

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.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

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.

"Rock Solid Enterprise Data Backup Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

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.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

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 Cloud Backup Solution"
4/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

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.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

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.

"Asigra as a backup Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

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.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

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.

"An impressive tool for backing up anything you need."
4.5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

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.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The UI for the DS-Client is a bit outdated for 2020 but still works well and is functional. Support if you do not have the ACE qualification is expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rock Solid and Secure"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

First of all, having an agent-less backup client that can reach across the network and backup a variety different files, databases and even Virtual machines can be a real benefit. And when it comes to security, few tools offer the extra encryption that Asigra's DS-System (vault) provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The GUI has been a bit dated, but the latest version is addressing this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure reliable agentless backup"
4/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Peace of mind knowing I have used this backup solution to recover from a disaster without any problems. The fact that I do not need an agent on any of my servers to get backups is also a bonus. The Ransomeware protection is amazing as well. What a great extra line of defence that is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

I think the client needs more work... Especially the web based o365 backup client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
