Has improved disaster recovery with seamless server replication and reduced operational costs
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been useful; in terms of licensing, it is way cheaper than other solutions, and setting it up in terms of implementation was easier and not difficult to do. The user interface is friendly and straightforward to use. The best features NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers in my experience include the VMware replication jobs, which allow us to schedule the replication of servers at specific times and move them as quickly as possible. The Change Block Technology (CBT) aspect helps us check if data has really moved without even turning on the server, by just looking at the reports that have been sent, making it a beneficial feature. NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted our organization by providing much cheaper pricing compared to other solutions, which means we have saved more money, and integrating it with our solution, the VMware vSphere, is not challenging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The technical support is good."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​"
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"It could use deduplication features."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The integration needs improvement."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
