Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"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."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"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."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
