Wisdom Selom Quarshie - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved disaster recovery with seamless server replication and reduced operational costs
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been useful; in terms of licensing, it is way cheaper than other solutions, and setting it up in terms of implementation was easier and not difficult to do. The user interface is friendly and straightforward to use. The best features NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers in my experience include the VMware replication jobs, which allow us to schedule the replication of servers at specific times and move them as quickly as possible. The Change Block Technology (CBT) aspect helps us check if data has really moved without even turning on the server, by just looking at the reports that have been sent, making it a beneficial feature. NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted our organization by providing much cheaper pricing compared to other solutions, which means we have saved more money, and integrating it with our solution, the VMware vSphere, is not challenging.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"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 backup and replication are great."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"You can back up the whole image."
 

Cons

"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
