Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is excellent, easy to use, and has a lot of beneficial features."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"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."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"Amazon is very secure, and our customers are very satisfied with this product."
"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"It is one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
"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

"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
