We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"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."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"It is flexible."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"Virtual Machine Recovery during DR situation, with automation and easy to use menus and options."
"The solution is consistent."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"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 like to see better integration with other storage solutions. I would hope to see that within the next two or three years."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"Lacks stability and as a result requires continuous monitoring."
"The configuration process could be improved."
"The initial setup of VMware SRM isn't straightforward because many customizations are required since it helps in the recovery of your IT environment."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
