We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Quest NetVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"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”."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The user interface is good."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"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."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
