The key for a good system is to be reliable, fast, easy to use. This is not that. > > **Cons**: Although this system has a lot of potential. I would definitely like you to be aware before making the jump. Get the trial version and see if it works for you. ----- ### "A hidden gem in the backup market" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *29 January 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is an easy to use, easy to deploy and inexpensive solution. We spent a long time looking for a backup solution that would suit remote workers long before covid became a thing. Many of the solutions fall short of our requirements (eg. dynamic IP addresses, back up to our DCs, some users running Linux etc.) and are extremely expensive or will only run on Windows machines. This one ticks all the boxes and also provides a nice, intuitive interface for end users to restore files from their backups. > > **Cons**: The OBM solution for Linux servers has a very clunky restore process. Ideally, a web-based interface like the CBS server would be ideal, so it's a little surprising that this hasn't been done. The documentation is also a little convoluted, but ultimately gets the job done. > > Very positive. It's been consistently reliable and is very unobtrusive on both clients and server. We use a number of different backup solutions across our estate for various different applications so we have a good benchmark. ----- ### "Ahsay offsite backup for large customers" — 3.0/5 > **Bart** | *24 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price is very low in competition of others, it works and does what is should do. Based on Linux very important because of data security, compression is great\! Offsite storage is very easy to use\! > > **Cons**: The support is based in Asia, you get answers in the night > > For large custoimers with a lot of virtual machines or data, it's a good solution with a good price. ----- ### "Honest Opinion from long time partner" — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *15 October 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The deployment / branding and quality of the product speak for itself. The varied types of backup you can perform and ease of which you can restore is quicker than other backup software I have used. > > **Cons**: the support time difference lets this product down. A support team in the UK would make the software experience 100% better and make me push this to my clients with more confidence. > > I have been using this software for around 15 years. I have used this and brought this every company I have worked at and now that I own my own business, it was a perfect fit. The software is an easy sell to new clients and onboarding is great too. The only negative is pricing can work out expensive and the pricing modules is a bit all over the place. the support really needs to be UK based for its customers for them to have any effect. Waiting at certain times of day for help and not being able to speak to people is actually a big put off. ----- ### "P's and C's of Ahsay" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *19 October 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love (ed) this product. Affordable solution for MSPs. Allowed me to manage it. Not priced by storage like the other rip-offs. > > **Cons**: I loved it right up to the point they changed the licensing. I requested a quote for the update/upgrade. I was sent a spreadsheet to "figure out" what licenses I would need for the upgrade. That is what salespeople are for. I was looking for a quote that said --- pay this much -- get this --- this will be the new version of your software. As a result, we are moving to a new product in the near future. The only issue I have ever had with Ahsay was communications. There is a certain amount lost in translation. > > GREAT---right up to the end. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/218194/ahsay-offsite-backup-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/218194/ahsay-offsite-backup-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
