Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has been very stable.""The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level.""It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature.""I have found all the features useful in the solution."

More Asigra Pros →

"It is a very complete product.""The initial setup is easy.""The source site replication feature is valuable.""Source based deduplication is the most attractive feature as it drastically reduces the backup window.""I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses.""The product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio.""Duplication and the speed of backup are great.""The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments."

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

More Asigra Cons →

"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly.""The solution could be a bit easier to use in the sense that they need to make it simpler to backup products and restore items.""Desktop-laptop backups and backup over the WAN needs lot of improvisation. For DTLT there must be a provision to push agents from the management console.""The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup.""Avamar is not the best tool when it comes to taking Azure backups. Like Commvault, if Avamar can support VM-level backups for the cloud, that would make it a bit better.""Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area.""If you don't have DPA, the reporting features are not as user-friendly, so reporting is something that they can improve on.""Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
  • "The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
  • More Asigra Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very expensive. It's a trust based licensing. So that's an ethical challenge."
  • "This solution is less expensive than Veeam for us, although it depends on the customer because we get a great discount."
  • "I'm not sure, but perhaps the pricing could be done better at the moment."
  • "The price is the main thing I'd like to see them change. If they can come down in price, that would be a good thing. It's very cost competitive in the entry level range, because Veeam pricing is much cheaper than Avamar."
  • "It was approximately $70-80,000 when it was under support, but right now EMC has not been supporting this product for two years."
  • "Licensing was generally on a per VM or terabyte basis. They changed their licensing model a couple of times and turned it into socket-based licensing, which is an improvement in their licensing model."
  • "When it comes to competition the price is not what is important, it's not the problem."
  • "The price of this product should be lower."
