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

"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"It is one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
"It is flexible."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"The product has enabled me to concentrate on other tasks without worrying about the daily backups."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"Nakivo, similar to Veeam Backup, gives you peace of mind and confidence in your virtual infrastructure."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"There has been a slight tendency to bloat, where each new feature uses slightly more resources."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"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."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
