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.

Enterprise DevOps Lead at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automated disaster recovery has cut manual work and now protects cross‑region workloads confidently
There are three major areas where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS can be improved: infrastructure as code integration, predictive AI analytics, and data compression. Currently, we construct our automated landing zones using IaC, but we still have to jump into Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS UI afterwards to manually configure the application backup groups and policies. Being able to declare all our backup schedules directly inside our Terraform code would streamline our automation pipelines massively. In terms of predictive AI reporting, it needs to be more reliable. While it executes scheduled backups perfectly, it lacks proactive anomaly detection. We want the AI agent to accurately predict and flag a potential backup failure or snapshot timeout before the job actually triggers and fails. This would save our DevOps team tons of triage time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"The most valuable feature is full-VM recovery from ashes."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"We have been using this for six years and it has been one of the applications that I know I can trust."
"Overall, these features make day-to-day backup operations more structured, reduce operational overhead, and improve confidence around recovery preparedness and cloud resilience."
"As an Advanced Tier Partner, Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has had a major positive impact on our delivery velocity and engineering efficiency."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS helped us automate backup scheduling and policy management, gave us centralized visibility with a dashboard across AWS workloads of multiple accounts, helped us with a faster recovery process, and majorly reduced our operational overhead while improving our ransomware and data protection."
"Previously, if we had any disaster or any issue, it would take days to bring the environment back up to the original state, and with Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS, we can do that within a couple of hours, which greatly reduces downtime in the case of disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO. When we wanted to sell, they backed out, and currently, it is not available across platforms."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"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."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"One area where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS could improve is expanding advanced analytics and predictive monitoring capabilities, especially for identifying backup risks, storage optimization opportunities, and recovery readiness trends more proactively."
"Customer support is fair and okay, though it could be better."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has a fairly small market presence."
"Regarding customer support, as this is a very new product and relatively new in the market, I am not sure how long they have been around, but there seems to be a lack of understanding with the support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"The prices are high."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"The price could be lower."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
