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."You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"It is affordable."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"In terms of resiliency, the most valuable aspect of SRM has been its effectiveness."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"The solution is consistent."
"VMware SRM is very effective between two sites with identical twin storage, you can have synchronization between the two sites."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."
"The product is evolving and the vendor is committed to change."
"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."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"VMware SRM lacks certain functions that other platforms have, such as better prioritization of allocation of resources and Boot profiles."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"The biggest issue for us is that this product does not have any demo for customers."
"The primary site lacks adequate equipment, such as power backup and cooling, which can lead to downtime during issues like power outages or overheating."
"The product's stability could be better."
