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

"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"This product was going to be a temporary solution at the start of our journey but ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"Amazon is very secure, and our customers are very satisfied with this product."
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly, and I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"The way encryption is currently working could be improved."
"There are some errors that we need support to correct."
"The licensing cost may be high, but the setup is easy."
"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"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."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"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."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
