More Asigra Pros →

"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten.""Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included.""The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost.""The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."

Cons
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data.""The management could be a bit better."

More Asigra Cons →

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""Stability.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
