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 virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"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."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"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 love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"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."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"No appliance update notifications."
