We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The backup and replication are great."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"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”."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"Testing failover capabilities."
"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"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."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"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."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"Timing issues arise due to replication lags in multiple areas. When this happens, we encounter errors."
"Flexibility to choose different PITs would be nice."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
"If you have a failover case, you need to work on it manually. It would be helpful if this could be automated. It would simplify things."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"The technical support is not very good and needs to make an effort to improve."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
