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

"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"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."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The initial setup is very straightforward, and I love the Linux version as well; also, NAKIVO is scalable and stable."
"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 VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"Space is always an issue and we try to backup just the files in certain folders, which the users are aware of."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"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."
"The price could be lower."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
