Why Customers Choose AppAssure
“AppAssure is exceptional. We would not have gotten this level of service with Symantec or anyone else.”
Imler’s Poultry

“Previously our backup storage would be full after two weeks of nightly backups. Now we can fit ninety-six 15-minute snapshots, 48 hourly snapshots, 7 daily snapshots, 4 weekly snapshots, and one monthly snapshot for EVERY server, and we are using only 33% of our disk space!”
Sioux County

“We got AppAssure to perform backups. But with combined replication it has quickly become the key in our disaster recovery plan.”
Brock White

“It used to take me 58 hours or more to do a full backup during the weekend. With AppAssure backup, I don’t have to do full backups anymore.”
Information Management Systems

“AppAssure backup requires a fraction of the care and feeding of other products. If the auditors walked in tomorrow, I am confident that we can immediately demonstrate that we can recover in our mandated time.”
Southern Bancshare

“AppAssure has awesome deduplication and compression that saves so much room on our backup disk array — 60%-80% increase in free space. It was a huge surprise! We’re protecting 12 servers, but only consuming 121 GB of space.”
