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

More Asigra Pros →

"The stability is okay.""The setup is very easy.""We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application.""I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses.""The product is good for backups.""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.""I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data.""The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."

More Dell Avamar Pros →

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 →

"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup.""I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms.""There are limitations when trying to use this solution with Hyper-V.""The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well.""I think they could also move more towards cloud solutions. It already has some cloud tiering, but I think that could be more extensive. They should work with all cloud providers and I think in the future they will be on all cloud platforms.""The product could be improved by simplifying the components available.""The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler.""A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."

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."
