We performed a comparison between Dell Data Protection Advisor and NAKIVO Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"This is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"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."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
