Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

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

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"This amazing software is highly recommended."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"The initial setup is very straightforward, and I love the Linux version as well; also, NAKIVO is scalable and stable."
"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"It is one of the few products where you feel you are getting value for the ongoing support costs."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
"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."
"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."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"The backup speed needs improvement."

"It has a very good price in the market."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
