We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and NetApp SnapCenter 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 product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The most valuable feature is that it's centralized. In the old SnapManager days, we had software for each server. Now, with a centralized system, we're able to manage all systems remotely, and all agents remotely, and update them remotely. That's a huge benefit for us."
"The backup process finishes very quickly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."
"The product’s most valuable feature is cloning."
"The backup features are the most valuable because they allow the DBAs to replace SnapManager for Oracle (SMO), which is going away, and to do cloning as well. We can also clone to different servers and have the actual backup clone mounted on different servers. And we can split easily too."
"The centralized GUI is the best feature, that there is only one webpage where we can see the states of all the backup jobs. We can see all the tasks that are running and we can quickly see if one fails; if they are running or have any issues. We have all that in one place."
"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data. It also enables really fast recovery."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"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."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Reporting of the jobs could be better."
"Groups might be helpful for each site or data center so that we know a given data center has these resources while another data center has those resources. It's not always easy to group hosts by type."
"If it was possible to create backups on non-NetApp storage, that would be helpful."
"Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."
"When you have role-based access, for example, it's a bit of a problem that the person who creates the backup job is the owner of it. We are struggling a bit with this, that everyone has the same view and the same permissions in there."
"The documentation could be a little bit better so that we could handle more of the troubleshooting ourselves, rather than having to go through support."
"The product lags in terms of availability."
"I want to see a few more features add that will help our team in managing solution better."
