Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"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."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Instant Backup is an useful feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
 

Cons

"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"Technical support can be improved."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"The cost should be adressed."

Nakivo is my favorite backup software. Below are the main benefits of Nakivo compared to Veeam 1. Low cost. 2. Backup storage with global deduplication (this is the main requirement of a backup solution. For Veeam, you need to pay for additional deduplication storage). 3.

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.
