"I would say flexibility is the most important feature of the product. The performance and speed are the best on the market."

"Dell PowerProtect Data Manager helps to reduce the amount of data being transferred and stored."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"The deduplication is the most valuable feature because it helps to control the overhead."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."

"PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems."

"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."
"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."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
