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."Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"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."
"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 backup and replication are great."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"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 is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"It is fairly stable."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"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."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"No appliance update notifications."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
