Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

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 easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
 

Cons

"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"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."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"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."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"The prices are high."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
