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."NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. 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. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"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."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"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."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
