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 price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use NAKIVO as a Plesk backup tool."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"The price could be lower."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive 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."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"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."
