Mattia Sangiorgio - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances data protection strategies and ensures the reliability of backups with helpful support
The features we have found most valuable in NAKIVO Backup & Replication include its cost-effectiveness, seamless integrations, comprehensive functionalities, and ease of installation and management. The pricing model is very competitive, providing excellent value for the robust features offered. Its seamless integration with our VMware infrastructure ensures smooth operation without any compatibility issues. The wide range of functionalities, including incremental and full backups, storage optimization, and disaster recovery options, meets all our backup needs comprehensively. Moreover, 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.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is flexible."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
 

Cons

"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"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."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"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."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
