We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Rubrik, and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"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."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"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."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"I can rely on this product if I need a restore."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"Logs are very easy to read, parse, and use for diagnostics."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"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 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."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"It is an expensive product."
"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 to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The biggest problem with NetBackup is licensing."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
