We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"They have great support."
"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."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"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."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"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."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
