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

"The biggest improvement with Nakivo compared to our old open-source backup solution is that we do not need any manual checks to see if the backup runs are completed successfully."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"We tried several competitors' software solutions, including Veeam Backup and Replication, but we have to say that Nakivo is the best choice when it comes to quality/cost ratio."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"There are some errors that we need support to correct."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The feature that has a backup repository, like QNAP + ext. HDD's could be improved."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
