It makes the job of an administrator easy.""The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows.""The recovery part of the product is very good.""It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time.

"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use.""Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich.""The user interface in general is very good. I""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.""The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure.""Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product.""Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind.""It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."

Cons
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports.""The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week.""I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again.""We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive.""One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India.""Backups are very slow and time consuming."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better.""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.""There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3.""UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​""From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository.""One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting.""Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually.""While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

    • More Arcserve UDP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
  • "The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
  • "It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
  • "Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
  • "I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
  • "You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and 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."
  • "Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
