Overall Satisfaction with Asigra
Asigra was used to provide secure backup and recovery of file and MSSQL based data.
- Agent-less backup works well. It's great not having to install agents on every machine.
- Great compression options.
- Great local storage options allowing you to keep backup generation locally for quick recovery.
- Great documentation. You will get pertinent precise documentation.
- Retention is totally up to you and can vary by backup set.
- Only block level changes are saved from previous backup.
- Backup ups can be validated.
- Backup up to NAS. Many Linux based NAS's are not supported.
- The GUI is cumbersome, especially the "Consumer" GUI. Features that you are looking for are hidden and hard to find.
- Pricing can vary widely.
- For substantial numbers of client backups a dedicated machine with lots of storage is recommended.
- In general if you are not a sizable company they are not interested in you. Asigra licenses to the product to its distributors for a substantial fee, smaller customers are not going to allow them to recuperate that fee unless they have a really large customer base.
- The product is rock solid, and monitoring options are eay.
- Pricing can be expensive. New Pay-For-Recovery model is quite hard to predict cost-wise.
Asigra slams, CTERA, and Azure backup.
