Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"It is easy-to-use."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"One of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is its exceptional restore capability, enabling users to recover their data seamlessly. Another valuable functionality is the automated verification of backup restorations, made possible through the Sure Backup feature. The software boasts numerous other noteworthy features that offer immense value, including the NAS backup feature."
"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
 

Cons

"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The automation could be better."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
 

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."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"It is an affordable solution."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."

Nakivo is my favorite backup software. Below are the main benefits of Nakivo compared to Veeam 1. Low cost. 2.

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.
