We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Quest Rapid Recovery, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is easy-to-use."
"The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"It is flexible."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"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 most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"It is very easy to use and very easy to manage. The fact that I can easily recover data is valuable. I don't use it much. The only way I have been using it is that sometimes, people ask to recover the data, which is a very easy process. It takes only a few minutes to get in and get the data from the server."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"The local mount utility is most valuable. I do restores fairly regularly. Thankfully, I have not ever lost an entire server that I've had to resurrect, but I certainly have people who erroneously saved over a file or have deleted a file. So, we've done that quite a bit. We still have the DL4000 appliance, and we had, kind of, extrapolated that out over a five-year period. Now, we're in year six, so we had to add storage, which we did as a SAN next to DL4000, but prior to adding in that extra storage, we, here and there, would run into situations where for whatever reason, it would want to be pulling a new base image, and then we would run out of storage. So, we would utilize the archive feature and archive the old data that we want to hang on to, but we don't necessarily need it taking up current data storage. Being able to export out really old data is most valuable to us. Then, we just store that on a NAS that we keep in another building."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Space is always an issue."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"In case, if there is anything, it would be the speed of the operation to be finished. Even then, I can easily work on the storing function before the operation is finished."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
"It's not really Quest's fault, but the only issue that I had during the time when I was doing a lot of our restores is whenever the server reboots, it has to bring all of the repositories back in again, which takes around five to six hours to pull eight terabytes back in again."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"One area where Quest Rapid Recovery has room for improvement is in the handling of snapshots on Hyper-V."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
