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 solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"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."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly, and I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"I like the product because it is doing exactly what I need it to do, and that is reliably backing up my VM."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"It is affordable."
"For the most part, I don't have anything I'd change for this small type of environment."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression option."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"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."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"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."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
