Featured Reviews

Sergio Itikawa - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Architect at SPEData
Has improved data reliability while requiring better pricing and localized support
The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve OneXafe; we use TrueNAS as well. I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature. It helps my storage efficiency significantly. The product satisfaction with this product helps with storage efficiency. Regarding Arcserve OneXafe's immutable object storage helping against ransomware, the call was not clear, and I had difficulty listening to what was discussed. Arcserve OneXafe improves precision of data. I have used Arcserve OneXafe's continuous data protection. This is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly. I have no objections to Arcserve OneXafe technology; I think that is very good.
EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Consulting at Gestion IT
Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

Pros

"The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important, and I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature, which helps my storage efficiency significantly."
"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system and comes with a replication module that allows us to safeguard mission-critical servers, applied on several sites by us with fantastic results as it becomes a great Plan B in case of a hardware failure or an outage of a primary system."
"The centralized cloud console for many tenants is great and clear and helped us to grant a BaaS service of excellence."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"I appreciate the management that really does respond quickly, they reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
 

Cons

"The price is not the best; it is too high. It's not the best solution in terms of price, although the solution itself is good."
"Arcserve OneXafe is not used in many cases in the market that we work in."
"The price is not the best; it is too high."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"There are some errors that we need support to correct."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
