ExaGrid Outshines Competitors During Search for New Solution
Ianniccari knew he wanted to use Veeam, which ruled out the Quest DR appliance. He looked into Dell EMC Data Domain, but it was too expensive, and it required forklift upgrades every few years. He also researched HPE StoreOnce and had a hard time finding any information on user experience.
Finally, he researched ExaGrid, and after reading a few of the hundreds of customer stories on the website, he called the sales number listed. “The sales team got back to me quickly and put me in touch with a sales engineer, who took the time to understand what we were looking to do. The sales account manager talked me through ExaGrid’s unique features, like the landing zone and adaptive deduplication, which none of the other products had. What really cinched the deal for me were the customer testimonials, both from the stories I found on the ExaGrid website and from a current ExaGrid customer I was able to speak to. I had trouble finding more than one testimonial on Dell EMC’s website, and it took a few days for their sales team to find one for me.
“I asked ExaGrid’s sales team what set ExaGrid apart from its competitors, and their response was ExaGrid’s superior technical support and competitive pricing, which was spot on. The price quote for two ExaGrid systems came in $40,000 less than Dell EMC Data Domain’s quote for one device! Between the customer testimonials, the great pricing, and the five-year support contract – which is absolutely amazing – I knew I wanted to go with ExaGrid.”
