Asigra's BackUp features
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We didn't have any backup or recovery tool for our organisation in starting ,so I asked some people and they suggested to give Asigra a try.The main feature which I loved is ,it can be scalable in the backup also ,as it is fully on cloud the security is not a point of concern.
Pros
- Pricing of the product is best
- IT's simple to implement the workflow to our product
- IT has Attack Loop Up services which helps us to tackle against the ransomware
- Some more features like Restore Validation is also very useful
Cons
- It's not compatible currently with S3
- They show up new versions every year so wanted to see a feature having migration of different clouds.
- To handle databases of DS client might be difficult sometimes.
Return on Investment
- Our entire Asigra environment can be easily monitored through one plane of glass thanks to their DS-Operator and Asigra Management Console.
- It's quite simple to use and navigate.
- Never has restoration fallen short.
- Data from several generations can be saved and retrieved.

Asigra Backup Solution
Pros
- Cloud backup - fast and reliable data backups
- Data recovery platform - easy to operate when data needs to be restored.
- Operability - the system is easy to use and effective even over slow or higher latency connections.
Cons
- The interface is outdated and could be more intuitive. Work is needed to make it easier to set up when loading and setting up operations.
- Event logs need some work. The errors in the log sometimes are not very descriptive. This can cause delays when trying to determine what the actual failure is.
- Earlier versions did not have the ability to take snapshots but this was resolved on newer versions.
Return on Investment
- One of the positive impacts is that the solution allows us to free up IT resources to focus on other tasks.
- Asigra has one of the best channel partner programs I have come across.
- This product is one of the few backup solutions that I've worked with that doesn't require an agent installed on the target device, making it easier to deploy to new devices.
