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"
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. 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. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use NAKIVO as a Plesk backup tool."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"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."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
