Asigra is for companies looking for enterprise-level cloud backup and recovery software. Asigra's key differentiators are anti-ransomware security features like bi-directional malware scanning, enterprise-grade encryption, deep and task-specific multi-factor authentication, and backup self-healing properties. Asigra is also one of the only truly agentless enterprise backup products on the market, improving both security and manageability.
Software is for backup architects, CIOs and IT Directors, or Disaster Recovery Strategists. Asigra offers specific value to Managed Service Providers that are implementing and operating backup solutions on behalf of clients.
The average recovery time from a ransomware attack is 22 days. Asigra Cloud Backup reduces the likelihood that a ransomware attack will succeed, and improve the odds of a quick and successful recovery in the event of an attack. Today's ransomware is designed to thwart air-gapping and immutable backups by embedding malware in files months in advance of an attack. Asigra includes a proprietary malware detection engine that finds known and unknown malware signatures both during a backup and again during a recovery operation.
It also includes enterprise-grade encryption and file name randomization to protect backup files. And it prevents unauthorized users from damaging backups or changing backup retention policies with task-specific multi-factor authentication.
By being truly agentless, Asigra reduces the amount of effort needed to implement and maintain the backup environment, while improving the security footprint of the solution.
Asigra improves recoverability in many other ways, including autonomic healing, a feature that scans for damaged backup files and automatically repairs them, and recovery validation which allows for easy testing of backups to ensure recovery success.
Asigra is designed to be implemented with the aid of professional services and operated by a trained technical user. The level of expertise required is similar to other enterprise-grade backup and recovery software products. Users that are familiar with other enterprise backup products should be able to learn and manage Asigra fairly easily.
Asigra Cloud Backup is the leader in backup security, with features like bi-directional malware scanning, enterprise-grade encryption, deep and task-specific multi-factor authentication, and a truly agentless architecture; all features designed to reduce the likelihood that backups will be damaged or corrupted during a ransomware attack.
Core competitors in the enterprise cloud backup space include Veeam, Cohesity, Druva, Commvault, Acronis, and Unitrends.
Asigra stands apart from competitors in 3 main ways.
1. Truly Agentless Architecture
Asigra is one of the only cloud backup providers with a truly agentless architecture. Even vendors claiming agentless capabilities still install software on endpoint devices and servers. Being agentless means less administrative work, fewer touchpoints to update and patch, and greater endpoint security.
2. Superior Security and Anti-Ransomware Features
Asigra Cloud Backup is the leader in backup security, with features like bi-directional malware scanning, enterprise-grade encryption, deep and task-specific multi-factor authentication, and a truly agentless architecture; all features designed to reduce the likelihood that backups will be damaged or corrupted during a ransomware attack.
3. Enhanced Recoverability
Asigra includes Autonomic Healing, which scans for damaged and corrupted backup files and automatically repairs them to ensure that backups are working in the event of a restore. It also includes backup testing and validation, allowing you to test the restore of a system in memory to ensure that it will recover properly.
Asigra is hyper-focused on protecting customers from ransomware and other related security threats. We are constantly adding new features to stay ahead of the changing tactics of cybersecurity criminals and will continue to lead in ransomware protection.
Asigra is able to work with all enterprise operating systems, virtualization solutions from VMWare and Microsoft, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, and many enterprise database solutions including Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and more.
Asigra has a flexible pricing platform that allows pricing to be structured either by the amount of data or by the number of systems. Pricing can vary widely but is highly competitive when compared to other enterprise-class backup solutions.
Yes.
Asigra offers an extensive partner training program, supporting a large partner community offering Asigra solutions. End-user training is available from both Asigra and Asigra partners.
The implementation time and complexity of Asigra are typically shorter than other enterprise class backup solutions due in part to the truly agentless architecture. Because no agents are required on servers and endpoint devices, those devices will not require an upgrade or reboot as part of the implementation.
The implementation will still require design and consultation and professional services to ensure a successful implementation, similar to the process for other enterprise-grade cloud backup solutions.
An Asigra partner is able to provide pre-sales consultation, backup architectural design, implementation, and support services.
Asigra offers enterprise-level support up to a 1 hour response time for high-priority support requests, 24/7, up to and including on-site support. Asigra offers Level 1, 2, and 3 support directly to customers or through a customer's service provider.
