Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"All in all, a very good company to deal with; I would highly recommend their backup products, as they work extremely well, and the whole product is valuable in every sense of the word."
"Right now, nothing is wrong."
"It is one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"The ability to restore in the case of a catastrophic event is priceless since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"It seems maybe that the interface could be a little bit better, but it is what it is."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"The licensing cost may be high, but the setup is easy."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
