Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Nakivo finishes ahead of Veeam. Users felt that Nakivo helped reduce costs, has excellent automation and is very scalable. Nakivo helped users save time due to its simplistic, reliable processes. However, Veeam users did feel that Veeam’s cloud version needs more maturity to be competitive in today's market.
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."

"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."

"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"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."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"The price can be better."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."

The functionalities are almost the same. Nakivo is available at a lower price.
If you don't need advanced storage integration there is no difference.
Nakivo offer almost the same functionality of Veeam at a lower price.
They have the same functionality except that Nakivo allows the backups to be immutable, thus, providing protection against malware (backups cannot be moved, deleted or changed) It has 1/3 of the price but sometimes there is a direct deal.
For me, Nakivo has all Veeam features and also supports Oracle RMAN backup.
Nakivo has a very flexible deployment compared with Veeam (it supports the deployment using Windows and SQL only). It can be installed on NAS, VA, and many more. Most of the things have a reasonable price.
