Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is highly stable."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The command-line interface is good."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"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."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"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."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
