We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"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."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"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."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
"Its scalability should be improved."
