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"
"Nakivo is a simple-to-use alternative to other more costly vSphere backup alternatives."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"With Nakivo, we found a partner who is very cooperative, has a very interesting price point and is even more than an alternative!"
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system and comes with a replication module that allows us to safeguard mission-critical servers, applied on several sites by us with fantastic results as it becomes a great Plan B in case of a hardware failure or an outage of a primary system."
"Since we started using Nakivo Backup and Replication, we can perform operations that would be very expensive using a VMware license, for a very very affordable price."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"Amazon is very secure, and our customers are very satisfied with this product."
 

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."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"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."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"Space is always an issue."

"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
