EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Consulting at Gestion IT
Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.
Rob - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Team/Governance, Risk, Compliance at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems
Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We tried several competitors' software solutions, including Veeam Backup and Replication, but we have to say that Nakivo is the best choice when it comes to quality/cost ratio."
"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 has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"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."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."
"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."
"Database replication is most valuable. It is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."
 

Cons

"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"It has not been the best. I ran into some issues right away and support got on and tried to help me. I ended up working on the issue for a week and ended up figuring it out myself."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."
"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."
"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The prices are high."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"The cost of the product is too high."
"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."
