Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps to sell Nakivo products when outstanding support is provided and its well-performing software easily beats competitors."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"This product was going to be a temporary solution at the start of our journey but ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"I appreciate the management that really does respond quickly, 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."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"It is easy-to-use."
"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

"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"We would like the ability to do raw metal restores from bootable media."
"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."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"For our usage, we've found the connections to remote shares (like CIFS or NFS) while quite easy to set up are a little bit prone to interruption."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The prices are high."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"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."
