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 most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"It is easy-to-use."
"The backup and replication are great."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"The prices are high."
"This product provides good value for the price."
