EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Consulting at Gestion IT
Robust data protection has safeguarded mailboxes and disaster recovery for our clients
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has released many updates lately and at this point it works excellently. Needs will always appear, particularly around the AI topic and other things that come out over time. I understand that solutions always have to keep moving forward, but so far I see it as excellent.I give it a nine because nothing is perfect. There are always solutions, and NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a tool that adapts perfectly to certain needs. However, we cannot dismiss that there are powerful solutions on the market that have been around for much longer. I rate it a nine because we can always improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nakivo, similar to Veeam Backup, gives you peace of mind and confidence in your virtual infrastructure."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"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."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"Since we started using Nakivo Backup and Replication, we can perform operations that would be very expensive using a VMware license, for a very very affordable price."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
 

Cons

"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"Sometimes they are slow to respond."
"In the next release, it would be good to have ability/feature to backup only Oracle database from the Linux OS beside backing up whole VM."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"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."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The prices are high."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"It has a very good price in the market."
