431 ExaGrid Testimonials

“I like using ExaGrid! I’ll recommend it to anybody who is looking for a new system.”

The ExaGrid is very reliable and I probably spend 90 percent less time managing and administering backups. The system has been extremely reliable and our backups are completed correctly each and every night. It really has taken a lot of the stress out of my job."

"The ExaGrid system is inherently scalable. When the system's capacity is expanded, processing power and memory are also increased so that the processing is shared between servers. In some of the other products we looked at, disk space is added but the amount of processing power and memory stays the same. We know that when the time is right we can expand the ExaGrid system to handle more data."

"The ExaGrid system was competitively priced, and it was a standout in terms of its scalability and its data deduplication technology. We were also impressed with ExaGrid's customer support team. From the outset, they were extremely responsive and knowledgeable."

"I really liked ExaGrid’s architecture and felt it was the best choice for our environment, but I was initially concerned that it would be more costly than some of the other solutions available. I was pleasantly surprised when the quote came in because it was priced comparably to the other solutions that weren’t nearly as feature-rich."

"We'd spend hours each week refreshing tapes, moving them back and forth and getting them ready to be picked up by a third party. Restoration was also a huge problem because we had to bring tapes back on site. Not to mention the added cost of storing the tapes off site. We wanted to find a more efficient, less costly solution."

"With tape, we constantly had to double and triple check everything, but with ExaGrid, we no longer have to worry about our backups. We have a high degree of confi dence in the system and we know that our backups are completed each and every night. The ExaGrid system has been extremely cost-effective and has enabled us to streamline our operations."

"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."

"Using the ExaGrid system, we've been able to reduce our nightly backup times from 12 hours to 4 hours, and our weekly full backups have been reduced from 48 hours to 16 hours. The ExaGrid has taken the pain out of our backups, and our network is no longer bogged down so things run more smoothly."

"The ExaGrid is a very flexible solution and it will serve us well into the future. We can easily add capacity if our backup demands grow."

"Now, with the addition of Symantec and ExaGrid's joint OST capability, we have complete visibility into both our on-site and off-site copies of backups. In the event we need to restore from a DR copy of a backup, we can seamlessly do so without any additional catalog operations as the ExaGrid appliance has informed NetBackup of the replicated copy, thus saving us time during critical restores."

"The ExaGrid system was cost effective and more scalable than the EMC Data Domain product, which for a similar price point, limited us in total capacity and required significant labor and planning just to extend us to the next level. We also like ExaGrid’s approach to the deduplication process which focuses on backing up the data as quickly as possible, helping to meet and exceed our backup windows."

"With some of the larger vendors, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle when it comes to support. That doesn't happen with ExaGrid."

"Some of our backup jobs used to run beyond our backup windows, and if they were still running during the workday, our network would slow down. Backup jobs that used to run 12 hours now take about two hours. It’s made a huge difference."

"We had been backing up to disk so we thought we knew what to expect in terms of backup speed. We were pleasantly surprised when we realized that our backup times have been reduced by at least 30 percent with the ExaGrid system."
