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

"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."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"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."
"After weeks of working with Veeam support without any success, I can say it was worth every Euro spent since I have a working solution and can sleep better."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"All in all, a very good company to deal with; I would highly recommend their backup products, as they work extremely well, and the whole product is valuable in every sense of the word."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like for them to add restore in physical machines."
"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."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages."
"Space is always an issue and we try to backup just the files in certain folders, which the users are aware of."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression option."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

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."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"The prices are high."
