We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Veeam Backup & Replication, and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"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 product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Replication is most valuable."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support is good."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"This is the best solution that I know of."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"Space is always an issue."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"Device backup could be improved."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"It is not very user-friendly."
