A competitive and balanced solution that offers solid performance at a reasonable price
I worked very closely with ExaGrid in Singapore. We are trying to build up the market for ExaGrid in Vietnam. We hope to be a big distributor for ExaGrid and that the picture will improve next year. Regarding the technology of ExaGrid, they have a landing zone, and now it's a very exhaustive solution, especially compared with Dell Data Domain and HPE. HPE offers normal storage without any special solution. Dell has DD Boost, and so the performance is high. On that basis, I rate the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage number with an overall score of eight out of ten. People might be more familiar with Data Domain or StoreOnce. And if people want a professional solution, there are only three brands.

The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs, updated every hour with only changed data, and the speed of the backup is excellent, allowing replicas to be updated without affecting production workloads."
"I like the product because it is doing exactly what I need it to do, and that is reliably backing up my VM."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO. When we wanted to sell, they backed out, and currently, it is not available across platforms."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
