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. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."

"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."

"The usability and interface of the solution are good."

"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"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."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"The pricing could be improved."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
