431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"Restoring a fairly large directory from the ExaGrid system takes about 90 seconds. Restoring the same directory from tape would have taken a day and a half. We've been extremely impressed with ExaGrid's restore speeds. It has made a tremendous difference in our day-to-day IT operations because we can spend more time on other duties instead of on managing backups and restores."

"The ExaGrid system has taken the headaches out of our daily backup processes. I monitor the system each and every day, but I don't have to worry anymore about our backups. It's a set it and forget it type of solution to backups. The ExaGrid system enables us to work more effectively because we can now spend the time we used to spend on backups on higher priority things."

"The ExaGrid system is very well integrated with the CommVault system and they work together seamlessly. In addition, the ExaGrid customer support staff is not only knowledgeable about their own product, but they understand CommVault as well. Integration is often the most difficult part of setting up a new system, but ExaGrid's customer support knew exactly how to configure the system so that we were up and running quickly."

"The ExaGrid system fit right into the district's infrastructure and immediately improved retention, restore times, and backup speeds."

"The ExaGrid really does eliminate all of the problems associated with tape, including long backup windows, difficult restore processes and the day-to-day tape management. It's a very simple, clean way to protect valuable data at a price point comparable to tape."

"With the ExaGrid, the last full backup remains available on the landing zone so that we have the latest and greatest information available at our fingertips."

"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."

"If somebody deletes a file within the last two weeks, I can restore within, literally, a minute or two."

"When we were evaluating solutions, we wanted something that would scale as our organization and data requirements grew. ExaGrid gives us peace of mind that we have a robust system in place that can easily scale as our organization and data grows."

"I have peace of mind that I didn't have before. Because our tape process was so complicated and manual, I was the only one who could manage the backups before. Now with the ExaGrid, the backups just run, even if I’m not in the office."

"The cost of the two-site ExaGrid system was far less than the cost of adding a shelf and drives to our SAN. We reclaimed the space on the SAN and got a better backup solution with disaster recovery capabilities for less money."

"When it came down to it, the ExaGrid solution was far more expandable than the EMC Data Domain system. With the EMC Data Domain unit, we worried that if we had to expand the amount of available storage, we’d need to replace the whole system. ExaGrid’s GRID architecture will enable us to add capacity or performance by simply plugging in another unit."

"When I made the purchase from ExaGrid, there were two simple line items – the appliance and the maintenance/support – whereas the quotes from EMC had multiple line items. ExaGrid has no add-ons; everything is included in the appliance purchase with no additional costs or licenses required."

"Unlike the Data Domain system, the ExaGrid system will give us the ability to easily scale the system up as our data grows. It will also enable us to add a second system offsite for data replication."

"I like the fact that the ExaGrid really doesn't require much user intervention. Everything is automated so I don’t have to worry about whether our backups were completed correctly or not. I get daily emails letting me know that everything was backed up successfully and I don’t have to worry about tapes anymore."
