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 workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
