"Asigra Cloud Backup & Recovery"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

the agentless backup and recovery solution protects many various platforms and services, which means less complication, less installation, configuration and management of individual servers. also, features such as autonomic healing and validation restore ensures data recovered is consistent and accurate, and that data can be successfully recovered. Asigra is very well suited for a mixed environment... physical, virtual servers; endpoint devices; mixed platforms/OS, Windows, Linux, Unix, AIX, MacX server, iphones/ipads, etc...

Asigra Pros

- Asigra's Agentless Backup and Recovery solution protects many various platforms and services... servers, virtual machines, endpoint devices, DB's/Apps, Salesforce.com data, etc... no more multiple point solutions to manage. Agentless means less complication, less installation, configuration and management of individual servers. Asigra provides us with a Secure, Reliable, Scalable and easy to administer and manage solution.

- We get Recovery and Restoration assurance with Asigra. features such as Autonomic Healing and Validation Restore ensures our data recovered is consistent and accurate, and we can recover our data successfully, every time.

- Secure and Compliant solution. As a public company, we appreciate the Security and Encryption methods from Asigra. The solution encrypts information at the source using a FIPS 140-2 certified algorithm, ensuring our data is secure both, in-flight and at rest... great for SOX and HIPAA requirements.

- Automation and efficiency... We can schedule and automate the backup process, thus reducing the need for manual intervention and freeing up time of our IT staff for other projects and activities. The Asigra process is very efficient

- We can manage the solution and all its components from a single pane of glass and, with the hardward/software agnostic behavior of the solution, we can mix and match the way we protect, regardless of operating systems, virtual platforms, applications, storage arrays or cloud deployment models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

- We would like to see Asigra come out with a Replication Model for quick Recovery of systems upon Disaster. We can have quicker recovery, DR, with Virtual Machines but we would like to have Physical Machine recovery in less than 2 hours. Replication can accomplish this...

- We would like to see Geolocation and remote wipe for endpoint devices

- We would like to see the solution provide easy "roll back" after a disaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"True End to End Backup"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Unlike other backup software that focuses on one specific item such as vmware enviroments or Windows environments, Asigra offers a true end to end solution. Asigra supports all major operting systems and applications from mobile (IOS/Android), laptops, desktops all the way through to high end Oracle environments it will even backup your SaaS applications! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The complexity of Asigra can be daunting to new users but by finding an experienced Asigra partner this can easily be overcome. Other then that it really is hard to find much to dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally a modern backup solution!"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

'Basic to advanced' backup and restore solution for enterprise and SMB. DR operations for applications, VMs, servers, desktops/laptops, and smart-devices. Works in practically any situation, easy to use, has saved the day many MANY times! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The product has been developed with high security in mind, meaning that at times it is not 'as' flexible as competitors. However, that is an expected by-product of a platform that can also be used for banks, hospitals, public institutions, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The best thing about Asigra is the breath of the functionality. On too many projects I've had to assemble parts from multiple vendors. Asigra Cloud Backup covers the entire enterprise, from datacenter to mobile devices and everything in between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

It's not a cheap solution, and it requires a significant investment in training to fully exploit it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asigra software provides security and is scalable and reliable..."
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Dataedge has been utilizing Asigra since 2006. We selected Asigra for it's Data Security and Data Integrity among other reasons. We have a MSP implementation and also several Private Cloud implementations we support for our larger enterprise clients. Asigra has proven to be very scalable and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

Asigra is not a recognized name in the enterprise space, this often makes the sale process longer than it needs to be. Asigra is not a backup solution for all companies, some companies don't desire or require the high-end enterprise backup and recovery features. But if your company wants reliable restores and little administration overhead Asigra is an excellent choice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asigra opens the "backup" door for companies moving to cloud technologies"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

I have been intimate with the Asigra product offerings and have deployed to 30 sites ranging from SMB's to large enterprises. The Asigra software is extremely scalable and able to back up 99% of a companies infrastructure. As IT continues to shift to more cloud workloads with Asigra the IT industry has a utility to suit those needs moving companies away from the older and expensive tape backup solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The interface is very basic and can be very difficult when trying to multi-task when using it adding time to management operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience managing clients with Asigra"
4/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

I have been maintiaing client backups using Asigra for over 2 years. From the start their tech support team is top notch! The product itself has come a very long way in ease of use, deployment and maintenance as well. Overall it is a solid backup solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

The backup reports could use some additional features. The backend maintenance that needs to be performed can be an issue on larger backup sets. From daily/weekly admins, Autonomic healing, master/delta rebuilds, etc. However this is not as much of a problem since they have gone from version 9 to version 12.x in our tenure.

"Asigra has been an integral part in helping me grow my managed service business. "
4/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Some of the things I like best about Asigra are the agentless architecture, multi-platform capability and enterprise ready features. All of my clients enjoy not having to manually update servers and like the fact that we can handle any type and size of environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

I think the place in which Asigra needs to be improved is the user interface and demo ability. I know that there are plans to do this in the next version. Backup is not sexy at all. If there was a way we could potentially improve upon the demo interface I think Asigra would appeal to more people. Although users aren't necessarily using the software, they like it to look new and fresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ACE Certified Admin Review: A full cloud backup solution"
4/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Built from the ground up for MSP's Asigra's Multi tenant, agentless backup never ceases to amaze me with it's capabilities to backup everything from Enterprise servers down to Desktops and even cellular phones and it's almost limitless functionality. Asigra has steadily imporved the functionality/code of their product over the years. Where other backup companies buy functionality, Asigra develops it. Coming with a new GUI in 2015 put's Asigra in a class by itself because whether it's the CEO that deleted that all important email or that server crashes "Recovery is Everything." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

I feel like reporting, specifically historical reporting could be more robust. In addition I also feel like there is a dance with support where you have to confirm details already put in the ticket before you can get on a call for quick resolution items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Agentless is Priceless!"
5/5
What do you like best about SaaSAssure?

Asigra's agentless design is a best in class backup solution. When your server count is well above double digits, the countless hours spent updating agents on a quarterly or semiannual basis is frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SaaSAssure?

Asigra needs to come out with a more robust replication solution which enhances the RTOs and RPOs for all types of servers. There are other agent based solutions that can achieve this. I would like to see Asigra improve in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
