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.
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"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."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The technical support services could be better."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
