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 product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"It's simple to set up."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"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 VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"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."
"Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
