Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The easy management and a good overview are the most important aspects."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"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."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
