We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"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."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
