We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Rubrik, and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"It is easy-to-use."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"It is fairly stable."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"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."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"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."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Its cost is high."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
