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"
"Its capability to back up virtual machines is noteworthy, but its ability to verify the bootability of these backups is especially practical."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of creating a backup copy job to get the backups to a second device."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"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."
