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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"It helps to sell Nakivo products when outstanding support is provided and its well-performing software easily beats competitors."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"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."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"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."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"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."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​"
"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."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
