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"
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"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 VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​"
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"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."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
