Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support responds very quickly."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"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 are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
