Robust data protection has safeguarded mailboxes and disaster recovery for our clients
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has released many updates lately and at this point it works excellently. Needs will always appear, particularly around the AI topic and other things that come out over time. I understand that solutions always have to keep moving forward, but so far I see it as excellent.I give it a nine because nothing is perfect. There are always solutions, and NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a tool that adapts perfectly to certain needs. However, we cannot dismiss that there are powerful solutions on the market that have been around for much longer. I rate it a nine because we can always improve.

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

"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"Right now, nothing is wrong."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"After we calculated the fact that it was easy to install, easy to manage, etc., Nakivo still was the best option with a reasonable license price and renewal price year over year."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"There are some errors that we need support to correct."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
