The Problem Asigra Solves
AWS EC2 cumbersome, manually labor-intensive snapshot process No management / single pane of glass No scheduling capabilities
Lack of automation Extremely time consuming

Extensive Script Writing
Manual scripting deficiencies Inadequate quality assurance (virtually non-existent) Nominal documentation if any at all Patching ad hoc at best Upgrades non-existent No maintenance and no support When author changes jobs, script needs to be rewritten
Scant skill sets available in market today
9
Limited Reporting and Notifications
Reporting and notification alerts are not available No visibility into environment Manually need to check images Leads to mismanagement of images resulting in higher costs
10
Lack of Productivity and Highly Inefficient
AWS Administrators crave simplicity and are starving for time Administrators need tools to do their jobs – not be building tools Poor morale Demotivation High turnover Higher hiring costs Higher training costs
