We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Veeam Backup & Replication, and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"The backup and replication are great."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"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."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"Device backup could be improved."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
