NAKIVO

 

Installation

Deploy where you need

· Installation on Windows and Linux including Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux

· Deployment as a virtual appliance in VMware vSphere/Nutanix AHV or as an AWS AMI with a built-in immutable backup repository

· Installation on NAS devices from different vendors to create a backup appliance that combines hardware, software, storage, deduplication and backup to cloud

· No installation of any plug-ins, extra components or additional modules for specific operations

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Limited deployment options

· Very few vendors provide deployment as a pre-configured virtual appliance (VA).

· Competitor solutions cannot be installed on NAS, and you cannot create an integrated NAS-based backup appliance.

· Require additional components and modules to perform certain basic operations

 

Backup to Cloud and Immutability

Advanced cloud integrations

· Direct backups to public cloud storage like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Wasabi and Backblaze B2

· Integration with various S3-compatible platforms such as Cloudian, MinIO, DigitalOcean and more

· Immutable backups in local Linux-based repositories, public cloud storage and other S3-compatible storage platforms to protect recovery points from ransomware, deletion or modification

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

No direct backup to cloud

· Most competitor solutions only offer backup copy to cloud and require complicated configuration steps.

· This functionality does not always support immutability and ransomware protection.

· Limited range of supported cloud storage platforms — you might not find the option that best suits your requirements or budget.

 

Protection Capabilities

Everything you need in one solution

· Integrated data protection functionality

· Built-in backup for Microsoft 365 to protect Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online and Teams

· Built-in Site Recovery for DR orchestration and automation including non-disruptive recovery testing, including for Amazon EC2

· Built-in Monitoring for VMware to keep an eye on CPU, memory and disk usage in real time

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Lack of centralized data protection

· Data protection for SaaS is offered as a separate solution that cannot be integrated into a single view of all your data protection activities.

· Disaster recovery orchestration mostly available as a separate solution.

· No other vendor offers replication and disaster recovery for Amazon EC2.

 

Ease of Use and Automation

Spend less time on administration

· Web-based intuitive interface to access the solution from anywhere and on any device

· Calendar dashboard to view and schedule all data protection workflows and avoid overlaps

· Policy-based automation to streamline activities by automatically performing backup and replication on machines that match policy rules

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Complex and time-consuming

· No centralized web interface with tools that simplify data protection planning and automation.

 

Access and Security

More secure access

· Two-Factor Authentication to prevent unauthorized access to the solution

· Granular access with flexible role-based access controls (RBAC): both predefined roles and the ability to customize roles and permissions

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Limited security controls

· Other vendors do not always offer all administration and security features as part of the solution.

· Most vendors only offer predefined roles for access without any flexibility to customize permissions.

 

Licensing

Costs up to 50% less

· Perpetual licensing for indefinite access with only one payment

· Best value for the same set of features with up to 50% savings

· Exclusive discounts for trade-ins

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Expensive with high TCO

· Only subscription licenses available. Most vendors have discontinued perpetual licensing while organizations in certain sectors still rely on one-time payments.

· More expensive with little added value.

 

Solution Footprint

Small footprint – get started with minimal resources

· Installation without additional agents

· One of the lightest solutions on the market requiring only 2 cores and 4 GB RAM to run

· Deployment within minutes

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Very high resource usage

· Some of the other solutions are relatively heavy and require substantial processing power to run smoothly.

· Multiple software agents may need to be installed before you can run your first job.

 

Technical Support

Our support team is always ready to help

· Live chat support right from the solution interface

· 24/7 technical and sales assistance

 

OTHER BACKUP VENDORS

Inefficient and inconvenient

· Other vendors cannot match the 98% satisfaction rate with NAKIVO technical support services.

· They do not provide an easy way to reach support and submit requests and send support bundles.

It’s Easy to Switch to NAKIVO

· More affordable with trade-in prices

· Technical support team for an effortless transition

· Fast backup and recovery every time
