Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."

"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Thanks to Nakivo, we were able to perform a disaster recovery procedure during early 2021, losing little to no data, and the only thing slowing us down during the recovery was the speed of the new host."
"It is flexible."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot; they give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data."

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"

"The backup speed needs improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."

"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
