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"
"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."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO. When we wanted to sell, they backed out, and currently, it is not available across platforms."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
