We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL], and Veeam Backup & Replication 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 fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"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 license and support delivery have been great!"
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"It is affordable."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It is scalable."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"The technical support is good."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding 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."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
