"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 flexible."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"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."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
