We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Unitrends 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 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."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"It is flexible."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"It is fairly stable."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"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."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
