We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments."
"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can independently run the disaster recovery without disturbing the production instances."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"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."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The initial setup of VMware SRM isn't straightforward because many customizations are required since it helps in the recovery of your IT environment."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
"There is room for improvement in the automation and orchestration aspects of this solution."
