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 solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"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."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"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."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"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."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"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."
