Pros
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure.""NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use.""It can be quickly configured via web pages.""The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily.

We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions.""We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs.""We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution.""Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich.""We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox.

Cons
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store.""More statistic options would be a great feature.""It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups.""In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform.""The interface can be a little clunky at times.""I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup.""The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed.""Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication Cons →

"We need some sort of security for backups and archives.""If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do.""I would like there to be more integration with other platforms.""I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup.""There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure.""It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation.""The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete.""Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."

This solution can be used to safeguard all kinds of machines and devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Veeam Agent for Windows can easily be installed on all Windows-based physical servers, workstations, desktops, and virtual machines, and works well in either a standalone or managed mode.

      It is widely understood that all users should back up all stored data on a regularly scheduled basis to protect all important data.

Users can choose to back up individual folders and files, designate particular computer files, or even the entire computer image. 

      Backups can be saved in several different locations, such as:

      • Cloud Repository (Veeam Cloud Connect)
      • Backup Repository (Veeam Backup Server)
      • Network Shared Folder 
      • Local Computer Drive
      • Removable Storage Device (USB, CD, DVD, etc)
      • Microsoft OneDrive

      Veeam Agent for Windows users are able to:

      • File-Level Restore: Veeam Agent will use Veeam’s proprietary driver to publish backup content safely to a user's computer file system. Users can then access the content user Veeam’s Virtual Disk Driver (VDK), which is included with the solution. Users can then easily browse and copy the desired files and folders to use as desired.

      We use Veeam Agent for security as well as to ensure we have a backup should the server or discs fatally die. We are a small company with just one building, we want to be sure that should a server be gone we have a backup in the cloud so that we can survive.” - Director at a tech services company 

      “The compatibility of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows with other solutions is good. Its integration with other solutions is also good. I also find the product user-friendly.” - Business Development Manager at a tech services company.
