We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Rubrik, and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"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 back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"The user interface is good."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"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."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"Technical support could be improved."
