Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"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."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The user interface is good."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
 

Cons

"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"It could use deduplication features."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"The integration needs improvement."
