Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The cost aspect and the ease of licensing, along with simplified licensing, are most valuable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"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."
"Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"Space is always an issue."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"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."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
