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"
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"This amazing software is highly recommended."
"Nakivo permits easy installation natively on a NAS and has a low-impact footprint for needed resources, can be quickly configured via web pages, and now works successfully protecting our environment with local, offsite, and Amazon storage backups and copy jobs."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
 

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 helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS but in other cloud systems."
"It seems maybe that the interface could be a little bit better, but it is what it is."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"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."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
