Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"It has a very good price in the market."
