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."
"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."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"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”."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"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."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"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."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time 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."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
