"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"It is flexible."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"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."
