We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The smooth implementation is the most valuable aspect of BDRSuite."
"We are now using it 24/7 because it is serving as an online backup, and very soon, the DR will activated on the product."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"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”."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"I suggest that the dump of the database have the option to either be backed up to Vembu Cloud or be backed up to all backup sites and not only to default storage."
"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."
"What I would love to see on the dashboard are graphs, per backup job. I want to see the month and the days in it... If a job has failed, when did it actually fail and what percentage of it failed? Did it fail completely, 75 percent or 100 percent or did it only fail partially?"
"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
