"I had certain expectations for an Exchange back up/failover/DR solution. After an extensive search I finally realized that, unlike the other products I tested, I didn’t have to sacrifice any of my expectations with Sonasoft. Sonasafe for Exchange does all of that quickly and easily without excessive modifications to AD or my Exchange infrastructure. Better still Sonasoft does exactly the same thing for SQL! Bargains at any price but you don’t need to break the budget for these products. It gets better: both the sales and support teams at Sonasoft are first rate. They are on top of their game and strive to make you a happy customer with amazing efficiency. Ahead of the pack in every way - an absolute pleasure to work with. By the way, please thank your engineering team for the extra sleep they’ve given me!"

"As a non-profit we needed backup and recovery software that wouldn’t devastate our IT budget. SonaSafe now protects our Exchange, SQL and file servers - we even have standby servers! We now have greatly improved our compression rates and dramatically reduced our backup times. Our IT department is very impressed by how easy the software is to use and we also give many thumbs up for their reliable and friendly support team. To get all this for a price that we could afford was simply no contest. Thanks SonaSoft!"

"I loved the idea of a 2-in-1 solution where I not only can speed up my backups but also setup a redundant replication Exchange server which I can rely on in case my Exchange server blew up. Sonasoft has completely changed my perspective on the way I used to do backup and replication. If you want peace of mind and want to protect the most valuable asset of your company i.e. data, I would recommend you get Sonasoft."

"After we installed the software on our servers, the results have been phenomenal. With minimal maintenance, I am able to keep both primary site and disaster recovery sites up and synchronized. Furthermore, with the 80-90% compression rate, our SAN devices where the backup files are stored are not filling up as quickly. I highly recommend this product."

"We had a situation where an Exchange server crashed and we were forced to rebuild it. Sonasoft’s team really came through for us and the Exchange server is back in production and running smoothly. It is worth mentioning that a large portion of the work performed was after-hours and Sonasoft team stepped up beautifully. We are extremely pleased at how the whole process went. Sonasoft’s software really works and that is not a statement I throw around lightly. Thanks again for making such a great product!"

"Sonasoft's SonaSafe Application takes a lot of the hassle and headache out of
setting up a company's disaster recovery plan" - Timothy Giorgi
"SonaSafe for Exchange server is simply marvelous. I tested the post
failure by shutting down our main exchange server and failed over to
our standby exchange server. Which by the way is awesome it didn’t even
feel like exchange went down"

"You may never need to restore a mailbox or recover specific email for
one of your users but if you ever have to you'll wish you had purchased
Sonasoft Exchange recovery software. It takes the pain out of recovery.
I would recommend Sonasoft Exchange recovery software to anyone."
Nuasis
"Not only was it easy to install, it has proven even easier to work
with.
Now we have a single solution to all our various back-up needs.
Sonasafe is fast, reliable and saves a huge amount of storage space.
Within the first two weeks of installing Sonasafe, I was asked to
rescue a dozen lost files and a corrupted SQL database and the product
delivered within seconds, and I didn’t even have to read a manual to
figure out how to use it."
I recommend Sonasafe as candidate for "Best Practice" in network data security and disaster recovery.

for every DBA. The value we get out of the solution is excellent"

"SonaSafe is dependable, easy to use, saves time during disaster recovery, and well worth the investment in the software"
LoanCity
"As we went over Sonasoft’s product in detail, we realized it provided,
Message, User, Store and Disaster level backups for Exchange in one low
cost package. Since their solution is so fast being disk-disk based, we
saw the cost savings of not having to purchase expensive exchange
backups software from our Backup Solutions Provider, and not having to
purchase Exchange Snapshot licenses from our SAN Storage Systems
provider. This is a cost savings of approximately $28K to Proofpoint."

"I’m impressed with the disaster recovery capabilities of the tool and
how easy it is to recover from a fatal event.
One of the biggest things for me as the ultimate decision maker was

through a centralized management console. The application dramatically improved the productivity
of our IT people and it gave me Peace of Mind."

"Throughout the past 5 years, data protection usually involved complex
backup processes that seemingly took forever. Vendors immediately engineered
solutions to reduce the backup window. Our research presently shows that 50%
of users have problems with recovering data with their current backup infrastructures.
Sonasoft provides a rapid recovery solution which is easy to use, automated and recovers
data with just point and click."

"Sonasoft
will change how we look at recovery and management of DB Backup Files.
Sonasoft is a MUST HAVE for any organization with SQL and Exchange Servers.
I don't know of an easier way to remotely manage or recover SQL Server."
InfoArch
"It's
a backup-and-recovery product that, similar to other products, uses
disk as the secondary storage media, but unlike some other products
it's application-specific. You can get some compelling results by
adding disk to your conventional tape backup system, but to really
capitalize on the speed and random access of disk you need new
software."
Cambridge Computer
"I rate SonaSafe Five Stars out of Five
. The system is a solid player in a very, very important space. Before

make sure you look into the SonaSafe application." For the full

"Marketron's
business uses a number of Microsoft SQL Servers. As we scaled up our
SQL deployment of customer data, using standard backup software and
manual log-shipping practices became cumbersome, time-consuming and
costly. Sonasoft provided a quick and simple solution. Using their
easy-to-use and intuitive web interface to schedule the tasks, the
Sonasoft SonaSafe Application automatically performs the full and incremental
backups of our SQL servers. Then, without
impacting our production servers, the Sonasoft Application directly and
reliably updates our remote standby SQL servers"

processes. SonaSafe has literally cut our backup time in half and we no
longer have to manually change tapes as we used to do in the past. This
is impressive for a backup over the network"
