We performed a comparison between NAKIVO Backup & Replication and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"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”."
"The backup and replication are great."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"The solution is consistent."
"It eliminates the need for complex compliance requirements, making it a highly effective solution."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the integration part, along with the subsequent hardware."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is excellent."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"VMware SRM's most valuable features are its convenience and its use of stretched clusters."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"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."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"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."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
"It has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
