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

"With Nakivo, we found a partner who is very cooperative, has a very interesting price point and is even more than an alternative!"
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"We tried several competitors' software solutions, including Veeam Backup and Replication, but we have to say that Nakivo is the best choice when it comes to quality/cost ratio."
"After weeks of working with Veeam support without any success, I can say it was worth every Euro spent since I have a working solution and can sleep better."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"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."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"It is easy-to-use."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"Some VM backup jobs hang periodically and cannot be stopped, except by restarting the Nakivo Director node."
"The licensing cost may be high, but the setup is easy."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"In the next release, I would like for them to add restore in physical machines."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"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."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
