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

"Four times the reduction in the cost of our vSphere backups, which provides the base features required for our environment."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"There are many license types and levels so that every customer can find the right balance between cost and features."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"In the next release, it would be good to have ability/feature to backup only Oracle database from the Linux OS beside backing up whole VM."
"It would be ideal if they offered a support portal for users."
"It has not been the best. I ran into some issues right away and support got on and tried to help me. I ended up working on the issue for a week and ended up figuring it out myself."
"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."
"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."
"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

"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
