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."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"It is flexible."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"VMware SRM is very effective between two sites with identical twin storage, you can have synchronization between the two sites."
"VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"The thing I like the most about SMR is the reduced cost of management."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"Space is always an issue."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"You need a lot of knowledge to work with the interface because it is not really easy to use, and it would be great if the dashboard were simplified."
"We would like the patching management function of this product to be improved."
