Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost.""The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too.""This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups.""It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition.""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.""The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature.""The user interface in general is very good. I""We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication Pros →

"One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration.""The solution is very cost effective.""It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up.""It is a stable solution.""The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago.""The solution offers good documentation.""When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy.""The most valuable feature is spinning up a ready-to-go VM in a test or production environment that is based on a backup stored on the Quorum device."

Cons
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release.""Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well.""We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi.""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.""From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository.""The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage.""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.""I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication Cons →

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services.""One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server.""The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved. We were exploring the product in terms of having a partnership with the distributor so that we could operate as a service, but for our own use, within the company, we couldn't justify the price unless the servers would become an option later on. The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep.""The one thing they could do is some tweaking on the web solution that's supposed to monitor everything from one page, rather than having to bring each server up on its own webpage. It doesn't always accurately show what the system's state is at the time, and we have to restart that process now and then.""I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source.""The price is high and could be more competitive.""At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem.""We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
  • "The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
  • "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."
  • "I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
  • "You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
  • "The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
  • "Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
  • More NAKIVO Backup & Replication Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
  • "When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
  • "The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
  • "The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
  • "The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."
  • "The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."
  • "When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
  • "The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
