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."It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"It's simple to set up."
"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 solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The backup and replication are great."
"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."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
