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."The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"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."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"It is a good backup tool."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"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."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
