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."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"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

"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"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."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."

"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
