Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

It's easy to use and restore. Tech support is also good.
Easy to use and restore. Restoring when there is issue. Backup bigger virtual machines (VMs). Six years. No. Some big servers don't seem to backup well. Good. Straightforward. It's easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is full-VM recovery from ashes."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"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."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"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."
"Some VM backup jobs hang periodically and cannot be stopped, except by restarting the Nakivo Director node."
"It has not been the best. I ran into some issues right away and support got on and tried to help me. I ended up working on the issue for a week and ended up figuring it out myself."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"The prices are high."
