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

"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"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."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The main reasons for choosing and using Nakivo for business backup and recovery management are many but basically lie in the fact that the product is feature-rich and easy to manage and configure."
"Nakivo permits easy installation natively on a NAS and has a low-impact footprint for needed resources, can be quickly configured via web pages, and now works successfully protecting our environment with local, offsite, and Amazon storage backups and copy jobs."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"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."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
