"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"The web interface could be more visual."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."

The functionalities are almost the same. Nakivo is available at a lower price.
If you don't need advanced storage integration there is no difference.
Nakivo offer almost the same functionality of Veeam at a lower price.
They have the same functionality except that Nakivo allows the backups to be immutable, thus, providing protection against malware (backups cannot be moved, deleted or changed) It has 1/3 of the price but sometimes there is a direct deal.
For me, Nakivo has all Veeam features and also supports Oracle RMAN backup.
Nakivo has a very flexible deployment compared with Veeam (it supports the deployment using Windows and SQL only). It can be installed on NAS, VA, and many more. Most of the things have a reasonable price.
