Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

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 one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"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."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"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."
"I like the product because it is doing exactly what I need it to do, and that is reliably backing up my VM."
"All in all, a very good company to deal with; I would highly recommend their backup products, as they work extremely well, and the whole product is valuable in every sense of the word."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"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."
"The licensing cost may be high, but the setup is easy."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"Sometimes they are slow to respond."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression option."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"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 has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The price could be lower."
