Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr.System Administrator at Suwaidi
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"It is a cost-effective solution with an easy-to-configure user-friendly interface."
"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 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."
"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
 

Cons

"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."
"This solution needs an easier interface that is more comprehensible. Also, sometimes we have issues with restoring images when we initialize the servers."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The price could be lower."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
