A stable and scalable solution that helps protect our virtual machines
We encourage customers to use this solution if they have two sites. For example, an HQ and a disaster recovery site. The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side. We suggest the customer makes a…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"It is affordable."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"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."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"This is an expensive product."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
