Chose NAKIVO Backup & Replication
NAKIVO Backup & Replication Virtual Appliance on VMware vSphere is a great option for first steps in a Backup Solution and it no need some Windows Licenses, like others.
Very straightforward user interface. Convenient licensing options that can fit everyone's needs - perpetual or subscription, CPU or workload based. It offers fair priced Essentials editions for smaller environments. Multi-platform support for server instances allow us to run …
When we started searching for a backup solution NAKIVO Backup & Replication stood out to us for their strong services expertise, product functionality and overall performance. The overall cost at the time was very attractive. We have learned that Nakivo has a very strong user …
I used the Veeam Backup & Replication on the on premise version, for a datacenter backup and replication, so it was not the same environment. The configuration is simpler on NAKIVO Backup & Replication , from my perspective.

Chose NAKIVO Backup & Replication
NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers most of the features of the great products and the ones most used by all backup administrators at a very competitive price. For this reason, it is not necessary to make large outlays to be able to maintain a backup with a high level of …
2 of our 30 Customers use Veeam. One had Acronis which we changed to Nakivo Backup & Replication because of the pricing, our experience of disaster recovery and space savings. One Customer with Veeam (using ESXi Free Licence) switched to Nakivo Backup & Replication because of …
Both are good backup and replication software but NAKIVO Backup & Replication is more intuitive and easy to use. We choose NAKIVO Backup & Replication because we could install it in a Synology NAS. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we have unified several small NAS into one. As …
It performs practically the same functions as Veeam Backup & Replication, but NAKIVO Backup & Replication is much cheaper than Veeam Backup & Replication. That's one of the main reasons my customers prefer to use NAKIVO Backup & Replication over Veeam Backup & Replication. …
Very similar to Veeam Backup & Replication in functionalities and architecture, but NAKIVO is quicker to be deployed thanks to virtual appliance and also, NAKIVO has a better price
Pricing and reliability put Nakivo ahead of the others. The simplicity of installation and ease of use was also very attractive in deciding on Nakivo. Products with massive installation and configuration requirements are not suited to the SME market.
Well, I'll be really honest. The products for a small company are really similar. The very big difference between the two software is the price of the solution. Veeam Backup And Replication is the most famous software now and the price is high. Nakivo price is cheaper. For …
Compared to other backup solutions except XSIBackup, the rest requires you to have other subscriptions for it to work. Other solutions are a bit pricey too hence, we've chosen Nakivo as our main virtualization backup tool.
Veeam needs a Physical Windows machine or VM running Windows, that also have to connect to a Backup Repository, was time-consuming to set-up and configure, I also had problems VM's locked-up during the backup process.
We were previously using Code42 (CrashPlan) prior to them changing their service. They no longer offered local backup as an option. We also used Zerto, but we found it painful and time-consuming to reconfigure the settings and re-sync every time we increased the volume size. Uni…
Comparing the consoles, Veeam Backup & Replication, we feel, has a better UI--more logical. The creation of jobs is "select and click next" on both tools but Veeam has more options regarding the backup job. They are visually different but we feel that Veeam is more logical …
All 3 of these backups solutions are very valuable to me. I use Veeam Backup and Replication for my primary onsite backup solution. I use Cloudberry for my File Server backup to AWS because I really like the way it stores the multiple versions of files that are modified. …
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is well suited for a variety of scenarios. Firstly, it is ideal for businesses with virtualized environments, such as VMware or Hyper-V, as it offers seamless backup and recovery solutions tailored to these platforms. Secondly, organizations with a mix of virtual, physical, and cloud environments can benefit from NAKIVO's ability to provide unified data protection across these platforms. Additionally, businesses requiring fast and reliable disaster recovery capabilities will find NAKIVO Backup & Replication valuable, thanks to its site recovery and orchestration features.However, there are scenarios where NAKIVO may be less appropriate. For organizations with exclusively physical infrastructure and no virtualized environments, the full range of NAKIVO's features may not be utilized to its fullest potential. Similarly, companies with limited data storage requirements may not fully benefit from NAKIVO's deduplication and compression capabilities.
We have a small deployment with a handful of physical hosts and two dozen or so virtual servers. It's been a perfect fit for us to manage all those backups and to restore entire systems from or even pull specific files/folders from a backup as needed if just a few things need changed/rolled back.
Can be installed natively on nas appliances leveraging the use of underutilized appliances. No need to install the software on Windows or Linux Servers.
Backup natively Vmware Virtual Machines and File Shares (you need to buy the right license modules).
Destination storage for backups (or of the backup copies) can be Microsoft shares, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze and remotely to other sites using their transporter vm.
To not overload the system with overlapping jobs, they can be chained one after the other.
Rapid add/remove/reorder priority of vm to backup and their backup archive. Jobs can be easily changed or chained.
Backups have the option of "screenshot verification". Screenshot verification doesn't always work for us when our vmtools is out of date. If we are on an older version of VMware and that version of vmtools is up to date, NAKIVO still thinks it is out of date.
It is a product that contains most of the features of its big competitors but at an affordable price for small businesses. In addition, the support is very good even if they only have support in English. Another important factor is its compatibility with NAS devices, which greatly simplifies deployment. The implementation is simple and in a matter of minutes you can define the first copy Jobs
I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to set up. I did it by myself, and it went perfectly. Online documents are very well written, and also the tech support asked to help me set it up. I want to do it by myself and the setup process is very easy to do. The connection to your VM and servers is very easy to do.
Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.
The Veeam Backup & Replication solution is up and running every time you need it as it was planned. In more than 3 years that we have been using the product every night, it might have failed or presented an error once or twice, so the availability percentage is almost at 100%.
Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility
The support is fast and perfect. If u have any questions, you can contact the support team via mail or chat and you always get a fast answer. You can also find a lot of help in the FAQ in the help center to resolve your problems. Anytime I had to contact the support, they helped me and solved my problem.
All support cases were solved in a timely manner and there was no unnecessary communication needed to get the answers that were needed to solve the issue. Also the mail communication after closing support cases id on point without too much nagging for feedback or reviews of the completed support tickets.
It is very easy to do in all the formats in which it is implemented, whether as an appliance, in a windows machine, or an implementation in NAS. I only use the appliance one, but I have tried all of them in trial mode to know which one interested me more.
(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).
NAKIVO Backup & Replication stands out as a more cost-effective and robust solution compared to Veeam ONE. With competitive pricing and a comprehensive feature set including incremental backups, global deduplication, LAN-free data transfer, and built-in WAN acceleration, NAKIVO offers efficient data protection and optimized storage usage. Its user-friendly interface and streamlined setup process make it appealing for organizations with limited IT resources. Additionally, NAKIVO's support for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV further enhances its versatility. When evaluating data protection solutions, NAKIVO's affordability, robustness, and ease of use make it an attractive choice for businesses seeking a comprehensive and cost-effective backup solution.
Veeam is a more enterprise feature rich platform. It offers further flexibility and additional features such as virtual labs to test backups in an isolated protected method. Veeam has also been more reliable when it comes to backup and recovery speeds and has built in integration with many platforms and storage providers.
The pricing for VM backups is good value for money as it does not limit how many VM's per socket. This works well for smaller sites with simple backup requirements. Physical machine backup pricing would more attractive with a sliding scale based on the number of physical machines.
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.
I contacted a few times Nakivo representatives, once for technical doubt and the other ones for commercial ones. Both support services are fast and reliable.
One of our contributors has permanently deleted worksheets from our file server. From Nakivo, we were able to recover all the data in less than 10 minutes.
An authentication server was encrypted by ransomware, through NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we recover the entire server within 1 hour.
Confidence before starting riskier maintenance windows is a large component of what veeam is able to offer for us
Some of the segmentation between different backup servers across our data enters causes unnecessary delays or backups that are duplicated unnecessarily
Lack of certain storage vendors being natively supported requires hacky workarounds not fit for a production environment
