Featured Reviews

Sergio Itikawa - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Architect at SPEData
Has improved data reliability while requiring better pricing and localized support
The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve OneXafe; we use TrueNAS as well. I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature. It helps my storage efficiency significantly. The product satisfaction with this product helps with storage efficiency. Regarding Arcserve OneXafe's immutable object storage helping against ransomware, the call was not clear, and I had difficulty listening to what was discussed. Arcserve OneXafe improves precision of data. I have used Arcserve OneXafe's continuous data protection. This is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly. I have no objections to Arcserve OneXafe technology; I think that is very good.
EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer

Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

Pros

"The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important, and I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature, which helps my storage efficiency significantly."
"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"Nakivo is a cheap backup solution and at the level of technology in comparison with Veeam plays well."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo, similar to Veeam Backup, gives you peace of mind and confidence in your virtual infrastructure."
"We were looking for a product that is easy and simple to use, this product perfectly fit and ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"Its capability to back up virtual machines is noteworthy, but its ability to verify the bootability of these backups is especially practical."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"It saves us a lot of time, starting with the fast deployment and configuration, through to the daily backup jobs, controlling the processes, and watching the data storage space."
 

Cons

"The price is not the best; it is too high. It's not the best solution in terms of price, although the solution itself is good."
"Arcserve OneXafe is not used in many cases in the market that we work in."
"The price is not the best; it is too high."
"In the next release, it would be good to have ability/feature to backup only Oracle database from the Linux OS beside backing up whole VM."
"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and, if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"Sometimes they are slow to respond."
"It has not been the best. I ran into some issues right away and support got on and tried to help me. I ended up working on the issue for a week and ended up figuring it out myself."
