Expert Backup at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
A virtual deduplication backup appliance that protects physical and virtual data across remote sites, the datacenter and cloud deployments
Given its ease of use and management, I believe there are no specific caveats that users need to be aware of during the setup of DXRIS for backups. The process was straightforward, and I did not encounter any challenges or issues. As for a rating on a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate the Quantum DXI Series a nine. My deduction is primarily influenced by personal preferences, particularly regarding the user interface and it is a highly commendable system, I would rate it a solid nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"The VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"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."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
 

Cons

"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
