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."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
 

Cons

"It could be more stable and more secure."
"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."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO. When we wanted to sell, they backed out, and currently, it is not available across platforms."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"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."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
