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.

Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems
Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"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."
"I appreciate the management that really does respond quickly, 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 most valuable feature is full-VM recovery from ashes."
"We have been using this for six years and it has been one of the applications that I know I can trust."
"Amazon is very secure, and our customers are very satisfied with this product."
"All in all, a very good company to deal with; I would highly recommend their backup products, as they work extremely well, and the whole product is valuable in every sense of the word."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"I see that the seamless synchronization feature is helpful for your organization or your customers' organization."
"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."
"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."
 

Cons

"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"In the next release, it would be good to have ability/feature to backup only Oracle database from the Linux OS beside backing up whole VM."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One thing I see as a drawback in Precisely Assure MIMIX is that deployment is quite complex and it takes time."
"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."
"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."
"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"The cost of the product is too high."
"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."
