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.

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

"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly, and I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"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."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
