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 ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The flexibility is very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"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."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"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."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
