EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer

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.
George Onalo - PeerSpot reviewer

Automated disaster recovery has cut manual work and now protects cross‑region workloads confidently
There are three major areas where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS can be improved: infrastructure as code integration, predictive AI analytics, and data compression. Currently, we construct our automated landing zones using IaC, but we still have to jump into Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS UI afterwards to manually configure the application backup groups and policies. Being able to declare all our backup schedules directly inside our Terraform code would streamline our automation pipelines massively. In terms of predictive AI reporting, it needs to be more reliable. While it executes scheduled backups perfectly, it lacks proactive anomaly detection. We want the AI agent to accurately predict and flag a potential backup failure or snapshot timeout before the job actually triggers and fails. This would save our DevOps team tons of triage time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We were looking for a product that is easy and simple to use, this product perfectly fit and ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"With Nakivo, we found a partner who is very cooperative, has a very interesting price point and is even more than an alternative!"
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"The general cost of doing backups has been reduced, and the screenshot verification feature is priceless because I know right when I have an issue."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"The centralized cloud console for many tenants is great and clear and helped us to grant a BaaS service of excellence."
"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."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS helped us automate backup scheduling and policy management, gave us centralized visibility with a dashboard across AWS workloads of multiple accounts, helped us with a faster recovery process, and majorly reduced our operational overhead while improving our ransomware and data protection."
"As an Advanced Tier Partner, Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has had a major positive impact on our delivery velocity and engineering efficiency."
"Overall, these features make day-to-day backup operations more structured, reduce operational overhead, and improve confidence around recovery preparedness and cloud resilience."
"Previously, if we had any disaster or any issue, it would take days to bring the environment back up to the original state, and with Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS, we can do that within a couple of hours, which greatly reduces downtime in the case of disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"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."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality. To update the Linux appliance, you need to download a script and run commands from SSH. This is unacceptable."
"Some VM backup jobs hang periodically and cannot be stopped, except by restarting the Nakivo Director node."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Regarding customer support, as this is a very new product and relatively new in the market, I am not sure how long they have been around, but there seems to be a lack of understanding with the support team."
"One area where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS could improve is expanding advanced analytics and predictive monitoring capabilities, especially for identifying backup risks, storage optimization opportunities, and recovery readiness trends more proactively."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has a fairly small market presence."
"Customer support is fair and okay, though it could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"It has a very good price in the market."
"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The price could be lower."
