I used Veeam before, however, it is much more expensive. That said, it does the same thing.
View full review »We switched products since we needed something easier to manage and set up and something more reliable. Nakivo has been all that for us.
View full review »The backup and replication method for most solutions is the same. For example, Nakivo and Veeam are similar, but Veeam has many options we will never use, and we get a lot of questions about features customers don't need.
It's more complicated to perform the same jobs using Veritas, which is designed for huge companies, like telecoms and multinational companies. It's more of an enterprise solution, so the price is much higher.
View full review »I used Veeam previously. I switched mainly because of the problems I always encountered while trying to order Veeam. This company is the absolute worst in the business - not to mention the price of a license.
View full review »We used Veeam, and we still have legacy systems that use Veeam. We are switching because of the price advantage Nakivo provides.

We have changed from a previous system because that product was too expensive to renew and we needed a Windows license to install the backup system.
View full review »We tested Veeam, however, the price didn't seem worth it. Nakivo performs the same functions for a better price.

Previously we use MicroFocus VM Explorer (formerly Trilead VM Explorer).
Upgrading the vSphere platform makes VM Explorer no more able to support new environments. Further, we need a more comprehensive backup solution.

We did use a different solution. We switch as the last solution was very expensive.
We previously used Veeam Backup. We switched to NAKIVO Backup & Replication because it is simpler, more understandable, and cheaper than Veeam.

We used the Windows Server Backup which was unreliable.
We also used the Easeus TODO Backup, which had lots of failed backups due to files in the network sharing in the same folder as the backup job (previous backups causing errors).

Our previous backup solution was a self-made server script without replication capabilities and only backed up at a file system level, not at a block level.

We used another solution but the performance and stability were not comparable to that offered by Nakivo.
View full review »I'm still using Veeam Backup and Replication, but since this solution had huge problems backing up our file server (5 TB), I switched to Nakivo for some servers and will be completely replacing replacing Veeam by the end of its maintenance.

I did previously use Acronis.
Nakivo, overall, provided a more complete, simpler, and cost-effective solution - particularly in the virtual environment.

I have used other solutions and I wound up sticking with Nakivo because it is more versatile and it is able to work with systems other than Microsoft. You can get it running in many different ways. I am just running the previous build VM, but I also have a 12 terabytes Synology NAS unit here. I can actually install it directly on that and not even have to create a virtual machine. It runs great without any extra setup. So I am using Nakivo for versatility, mostly.

Our previous solution had less viability, fewer options, and was very expensive to utilize cloud offloading with it.
View full review »We tried several competitors' software solutions, including Veeam Backup and Replication, but we have to say that Nakivo is the best choice when it comes to quality/cost ratio.
In fact, the licensing model gives the opportunity to offer a good price to the customer while maintaining, as a partner, a good margin.
Other than that, the functions that this software offers are comparable or even better to the competitors. For example, Nakivo can use an NFS share as a repository natively, without relying on other servers, which is a plus in a full linux environment.
There are plenty of options these days, but Nakivo is a strong contender.

We also work with Veeam.
Veeam was the first solution that started to think about visualization backups. They were the first who started to offer this backup for a virtualized environment. Nakivo were the second and they basically cloned Veeam Backup. They created a cheap clone of Veeam Backup and the prices were much less than Veeam.

I have experience with Veeam from about four or five years ago when I used it. These two backup solutions are working well and there is no problem between them. I don't know the differences.
View full review »Yes, we used Commvault, but it is very complicate and not practical for our use. So we choose Nakivo for is semplicity and the pricing.

We tried Veeam but the price was excessive and we have a better percentage of successful backups with Nakivo.
View full review »We are in the process of switching for two main reasons:
- Reducing costs.
- Improving backups by not having to install clients on each VM.
