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."It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"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."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"The backup and replication are great."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
