Executive Vice Director at Sunshine Solution
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.

Robust data protection has safeguarded mailboxes and disaster recovery for our clients
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has released many updates lately and at this point it works excellently. Needs will always appear, particularly around the AI topic and other things that come out over time. I understand that solutions always have to keep moving forward, but so far I see it as excellent.I give it a nine because nothing is perfect. There are always solutions, and NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a tool that adapts perfectly to certain needs. However, we cannot dismiss that there are powerful solutions on the market that have been around for much longer. I rate it a nine because we can always improve.

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."
"This product was going to be a temporary solution at the start of our journey but ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"The simplicity of Nakivo is its best feature; it does exactly what it should, which is to create restorable backups!"
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job, and that gives us peace of mind."
"The centralized cloud console for many tenants is great and clear and helped us to grant a BaaS service of excellence."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality. To update the Linux appliance, you need to download a script and run commands from SSH. This is unacceptable."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"We would like the ability to do raw metal restores from bootable media."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"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."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
