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

"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."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system and comes with a replication module that allows us to safeguard mission-critical servers, applied on several sites by us with fantastic results as it becomes a great Plan B in case of a hardware failure or an outage of a primary system."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
 

Cons

"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"The licensing cost may be high, but the setup is easy."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO. When we wanted to sell, they backed out, and currently, it is not available across platforms."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
