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 speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"It saves us a lot of time, starting with the fast deployment and configuration, through to the daily backup jobs, controlling the processes, and watching the data storage space."
"Four times the reduction in the cost of our vSphere backups, which provides the base features required for our environment."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The product has enabled me to concentrate on other tasks without worrying about the daily backups."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"For our usage, we've found the connections to remote shares (like CIFS or NFS) while quite easy to set up are a little bit prone to interruption."
"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."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​"
"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."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"It would be ideal if they offered a support portal for users."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The prices are high."
"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."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
