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.

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."
"The easy management and a good overview are the most important aspects."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
