We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Rubrik, and Veritas Backup Exec 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 set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"It is flexible."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
