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.
Charles Daou - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior system Engineer at Soft Flow
Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"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."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"The cost aspect and the ease of licensing, along with simplified licensing, are most valuable."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"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."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
 

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 licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The prices are high."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
