431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"The system was more cost effective than some of the other solutions we looked at. It was less expensive to acquire and we were able to use it along with our existing backup application and tape drive. It was also more advantageous to purchase the ExaGrid system in terms of licensing and maintenance. We were able to set the system up ourselves and it's easy to manage and administer. When we factored all that in with the reduced tape and transportation costs, it was an easy choice."

"When I first spoke with ExaGrid at a VMware User Group about their system, I thought they were blowing smoke about the ease of use and speed. But when I saw it for my own eyes in our environment, I was amazed and I still am amazed. It's been fantastic."

"We liked that the ExaGrid system backs up the data to a landing zone before it dedupes it instead of deduping it on the fly like the Data Domain solution does. We felt that ExaGrid’s post-processes data deduplication would provide faster backups and restores."

"One of the things we wanted out of a disk-based backup system was a 'set it and forget it' type of product. The ExaGrid has more than lived up to our expectations. Each day, we quickly check the ExaGrid to ensure that everything ran smoothly and then double-check the amount of available disk space, and that's it. We're confident in the system and it's taken the hassle out of our backups."

"We've been extremely impressed with the ExaGrid system. It fit seamlessly into our network and we were able to keep our existing investment in ARCserve and in our tape library. It's a very cost-effective solution and it really simplified our backups."

"Effective data deduplication translates into big savings, especially when you consider replication. ExaGrid’s data deduplication does a fantastic job at reducing our data, and it enabled us to purchase a smaller system, shorten backup times and improve disaster recovery."

"The ExaGrid system sends me helpful daily email alerts with detailed information like the amount of available disk space and backup job status. I just glance at it each morning and go on with my day."

"The ExaGrid system has unburdened us from worrying about disk sprawl in our backup architectures. I hope to never buy disk again for our backup server. It’s a great feeling."

"As our backup demands increase, we can easily scale the system to handle more data. It’s great to have the flexibility to add an additional system for data replication or to add more capacity."

"Just knowing that with the ExaGrid appliance, if the SAN were to fail or if we lost a virtual server or if for some reason the virtual server wouldn’t start up on the SAN, then we can fire the VM up right here on the ExaGrid and it’ll be up and running in no time flat—that’s a huge benefit from our perspective."

"Our backup windows have come down significantly. What used to take us 22 hours to do a full backup on the weekend is now completed within 10 hours."

"The ExaGrid system was more cost-effective than other deduplication solutions that we evaluated. We were also impressed with ExaGrid's post-process approach to data deduplication. It's been very effective at reducing our data, and we've had dedupe rates as high as 59:1 for our SharePoint data."

"We looked at several systems. We liked ExaGrid's approach to data deduplication. The ExaGrid system provided us with all of the features and capacity we needed and was extremely cost effective."

"We did a fairly thorough evaluation and brought products from Data Domain, Quantum and ExaGrid into our datacenter to compare them. The ExaGrid was the clear winner based on its approach to data deduplication, scalability, price and performance."

"We looked at all the solutions out there, and in terms of meeting Allegro’s business objectives and technical requirements as well as being well priced, ExaGrid came out on top. It’s a product that’s well suited to our company. Allegro is an innovator in its market space and prefers products that are proven, reliable, and easy to work with. We’ve found that ExaGrid is just like that; the product is ‘set it and forget it,’ and the company is very accommodating."
