More Asigra Pros →

"It is very stable after deployment and will perform in a steady state.""The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure.""I love the TDP for VMware because of the web interface and the possibilities provided by this tool. It's amazing.""Nothing beats this solution for file backup.""We can scale. Today, we have an average backup volume of 100TB a day.""One of the features which is most interesting in Spectrum Protect is the ability to scale out to great environments. This is something that not many vendors have on the market.""It protects our data. That is what it is there for.""It has to ability to backup DV2, Oracle, and Informix."

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 →

"I want to see better compression than what it currently does.""This solution is not mature in terms of disaster recovery and could be improved.""Needs more support for non-mainstream databases, in particular PostgreSQL, SQL, and MySQL.""The installation process could be simplified.""It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that.""The solution should improve the ability to monitor backup failure.""The user interface needs to be improved.""IBM Spectrum Protect does have a lot of the features that we need, but I think they need to improve their backup virtualization and backup for container."

  • "At scale, the consumption license (per TB) is very expensive."
  • "Use capacity licensing. It's easier and cheaper."
  • "We worked our licensing into a capacity model, which is nice. Now, everything is much simpler to manage from a licensing perspective.​"

  • "Spectrum Protect is not expensive, and it is simple to use."
  • "It is very scalable, but the downside is that it costs money."
