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 a cheap backup solution and at the level of technology in comparison with Veeam plays well."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"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."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"The initial setup is very straightforward, and I love the Linux version as well; also, NAKIVO is scalable and stable."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and, if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"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."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"The prices are high."
