"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 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."
"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."
"After installing the ExaGrid, I have confidence in our backups that I didn't have previously."
"The ExaGrid has proven to be a real time saver. We were able to streamline our backup processes and cut our backup times in half. Also, our restores are much, much faster now. Restoring data from tape used to take hours, but it takes just minutes with the ExaGrid."
"When we looked around at various backup approaches, we found that there were lots of products on the market that can do a good job at basic backup, but crucial for us was the reliability and speed of restores. That’s where the ExaGrid system really hit the ball out of the park."
"We have been extremely pleased with the speed of our backups using ExaGrid. We're able to back up all of our data onto disk and it's seamless. Our backups are now streamlined and painless, and restores are nearly instantaneous. With ExaGrid, we know that backups are completed each night, we have room for future growth, and we have a disaster recovery scenario. It gives us a nice comfort level."
"As a healthcare provider, we need to have access to a significant amount of retention to adhere to HIPAA regulations ... Because of ExaGrid’s strong data deduplication technology ... we’re seeing data deduplication ratios as high as 40:1."
"The ExaGrid was significantly less expensive than the other system we were considering, and we felt that ExaGrid’s post-process data deduplication technology would provide faster backups versus the competitor’s inline data deduplication approach. We didn’t want a situation where the backup software was waiting on the appliance. We’ve been very happy with both ExaGrid’s data deduplication and its backup speed."
"We realized how fortunate we were that we had the ExaGrid systems in both locations. In the event that we needed to go into full disaster recovery mode, we could have quickly switched over and been up and running in no time."
"The installation went really well. ExaGrid support ensured everything was up and running - it was really smooth."
"The previous network administrator said that he spent 75% of his time doing backups. Now, thanks to the ExaGrid, I spend just a few minutes a day. Having the ExaGrid system in place enables me to focus on other important parts of my job."
"ExaGrid provides a great return on investment, and the system works as advertised. With ExaGrid, we no longer have the ongoing costs associated with tape, our backups and restores are much faster, and our administrator can spend his time focusing on issues other than backups."
"Our IT department runs lean, as do so many others these days. Given that, ExaGrid taking care of the system for us is a godsend. You just don't find that with other vendors without a huge price tag! ExaGrid's support is, in my opinion, the best in the business!"
"Installing the ExaGrid was unbelievably simple. I just mounted the unit in the rack and went through the setup in about twenty minutes. ExaGrid's customer support engineer then remoted in and walked me through everything. It couldn't have been easier."
