Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

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

"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The product has enabled me to concentrate on other tasks without worrying about the daily backups."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"Four times the reduction in the cost of our vSphere backups, which provides the base features required for our environment."
"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."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"It is affordable."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
 

Cons

"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted."
"In the next release, I would like for them to add restore in physical machines."
"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."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"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."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"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."
