Mattia Sangiorgio - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances data protection strategies and ensures the reliability of backups with helpful support
The features we have found most valuable in NAKIVO Backup & Replication include its cost-effectiveness, seamless integrations, comprehensive functionalities, and ease of installation and management. The pricing model is very competitive, providing excellent value for the robust features offered. Its seamless integration with our VMware infrastructure ensures smooth operation without any compatibility issues. The wide range of functionalities, including incremental and full backups, storage optimization, and disaster recovery options, meets all our backup needs comprehensively. Moreover, the simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training.
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 offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training."
"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."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"You can back up the whole image."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"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."
 

Cons

"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"It needs an easier interface."
"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."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"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."
"The price could be lower."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"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."
