Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
