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

"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 price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"With Nakivo, we found a partner who is very cooperative, has a very interesting price point and is even more than an alternative!"
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"We have been using this for six years and it has been one of the applications that I know I can trust."
"It is one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has provided us with a solution that meets our requirements and we are definitely better off using this solution."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"Space is always an issue and we try to backup just the files in certain folders, which the users are aware of."
"Some of Nakivo's backup features need improvement. For example, I would like some more options for job scheduling."
"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."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and, if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
