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."We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"It is easy-to-use."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
"In terms of resiliency, the most valuable aspect of SRM has been its effectiveness."
"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"The solution helps to improve business continuity processes. Its automatic failover and failback policies have been wonderful."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"Incorporating non-disruptive testing capability in disaster recovery procedures has significantly benefited the overall recovery testing processes."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"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."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"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."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"SRM has to be installed on two separate data centers, so both have to be coordinated very well, which becomes complicated when configuring the software for disaster recovery."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"The technical support is not very good and needs to make an effort to improve."
"The product's dashboard is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would like the patching management function of this product to be improved."
"This product is not appropriate for those moving to a broader cloud footprint."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"The biggest issue for us is that this product does not have any demo for customers."
