"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.

Recommendations to others considering SaaSAssure:

Choose this solution if you want complete control over your data retention and the ability to store years of data efficiently. Please take note to ensure you use a valued Asigra partner to set this up as like a house built on poor foundations the solution will perform poorly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SaaSAssure solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are protecting numerous environments from small/medium businesses to enterprises ensuring that all their data protection needs are met and satisfied. Whether this is private, public or hybrid cloud setups including protecting data that is held within AWS, Google or Azure.

Asigra is significantly better than many other solutions that are out there for data retention and the overall efficiency of storing that data. Equally with Asigra I trust that if the data has been backed up successfully and cleanly that it will restore with no problems at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
