We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"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 solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"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."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"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."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
