Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
