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 most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"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."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"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."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
