A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"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 solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
 

Cons

"Space is always an issue."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"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."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
