We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Unitrends, 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 was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"It is affordable."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"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."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"It is fairly stable."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"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."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
