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

"Nakivo has allowed us to price the product about 10-15% below the competition, and that's significant when you are talking about small dollars."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"We were looking for a product that is easy and simple to use, this product perfectly fit and ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"The easy management and a good overview are the most important aspects."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"This product was going to be a temporary solution at the start of our journey but ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"It has not been the best. I ran into some issues right away and support got on and tried to help me. I ended up working on the issue for a week and ended up figuring it out myself."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The prices are high."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
