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 product license and support delivery have been great!"
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"It is flexible."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job, and that gives us peace of mind."
"The main reasons for choosing and using Nakivo for business backup and recovery management are many but basically lie in the fact that the product is feature-rich and easy to manage and configure."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Nakivo permits easy installation natively on a NAS and has a low-impact footprint for needed resources, can be quickly configured via web pages, and now works successfully protecting our environment with local, offsite, and Amazon storage backups and copy jobs."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"It seems maybe that the interface could be a little bit better, but it is what it is."
"In the next release, I would like for them to add restore in physical machines."
"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"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."

"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
