We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Rubrik, 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."We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"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."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"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."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
