Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

Robust data protection has safeguarded mailboxes and disaster recovery for our clients
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has released many updates lately and at this point it works excellently. Needs will always appear, particularly around the AI topic and other things that come out over time. I understand that solutions always have to keep moving forward, but so far I see it as excellent.I give it a nine because nothing is perfect. There are always solutions, and NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a tool that adapts perfectly to certain needs. However, we cannot dismiss that there are powerful solutions on the market that have been around for much longer. I rate it a nine because we can always improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Because Nakivo Backup and Replication is very easy to install and maintain, time and resources aren't wasted with installation, management, or use."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"It is flexible."
"After we calculated the fact that it was easy to install, easy to manage, etc., Nakivo still was the best option with a reasonable license price and renewal price year over year."
"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."
"Four times the reduction in the cost of our vSphere backups, which provides the base features required for our environment."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
 

Cons

"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"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."
"The feature that has a backup repository, like QNAP + ext. HDD's could be improved."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"For our usage, we've found the connections to remote shares (like CIFS or NFS) while quite easy to set up are a little bit prone to interruption."
"Space is always an issue."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The prices are high."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."

"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"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."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"The price could be lower."
