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"
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
