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 chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"It is affordable."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"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."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"The price could be lower."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
