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

"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs, updated every hour with only changed data, and the speed of the backup is excellent, allowing replicas to be updated without affecting production workloads."
"It saves us a lot of time, starting with the fast deployment and configuration, through to the daily backup jobs, controlling the processes, and watching the data storage space."
"Its capability to back up virtual machines is noteworthy, but its ability to verify the bootability of these backups is especially practical."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"The biggest improvement with Nakivo compared to our old open-source backup solution is that we do not need any manual checks to see if the backup runs are completed successfully."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"The ability to restore in the case of a catastrophic event is priceless since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The most valuable feature is full-VM recovery from ashes."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"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."
"Some of Nakivo's backup features need improvement. For example, I would like some more options for job scheduling."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
