We performed a comparison between Nakivo and Veeam Backup Replication based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Nakivo finishes ahead of Veeam. Users felt that Nakivo helped reduce costs, has excellent automation and is very scalable. Nakivo helped users save time due to its simplistic, reliable processes. However, Veeam users did feel that Veeam’s cloud version needs more maturity to be competitive in today's market.
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"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."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."

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.
