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

"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"Amazon is very secure, and our customers are very satisfied with this product."
"The ability to restore in the case of a catastrophic event is priceless since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Nakivo permits easy installation natively on a NAS and has a low-impact footprint for needed resources, can be quickly configured via web pages, and now works successfully protecting our environment with local, offsite, and Amazon storage backups and copy jobs."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality. To update the Linux appliance, you need to download a script and run commands from SSH. This is unacceptable."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"We would like the ability to do raw metal restores from bootable media."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"There are some errors that we need support to correct."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"The price could be lower."
"The prices are high."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
