Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use NAKIVO as a Plesk backup tool."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a very good price in the market."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"The prices are high."
