"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"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."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"Immutability could be improved."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."

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.
