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

"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."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Nakivo is a cheap backup solution and at the level of technology in comparison with Veeam plays well."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"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."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The prices are high."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
