Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
