It provides a stable SAP environment, but deployment does require someone with experience.
It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment In my last job, it provided a great SAP environment that was stable and running on Veritas Cluster. I've used it for six years. It's not so easy in some cases, and you will need some experience. There were…

Has improved disaster recovery with seamless server replication and reduced operational costs
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been useful; in terms of licensing, it is way cheaper than other solutions, and setting it up in terms of implementation was easier and not difficult to do. The user interface is friendly and straightforward to use. The best features NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers in my experience include the VMware replication jobs, which allow us to schedule the replication of servers at specific times and move them as quickly as possible. The Change Block Technology (CBT) aspect helps us check if data has really moved without even turning on the server, by just looking at the reports that have been sent, making it a beneficial feature. NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted our organization by providing much cheaper pricing compared to other solutions, which means we have saved more money, and integrating it with our solution, the VMware vSphere, is not challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It integrates well with other solutions."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"Its capability to back up virtual machines is noteworthy, but its ability to verify the bootability of these backups is especially practical."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
 

Cons

"It could be more stable and more secure."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"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."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"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."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"The prices are high."
