Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
