Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"It helps to sell Nakivo products when outstanding support is provided and its well-performing software easily beats competitors."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"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 VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Veeam Agent for Linux works like a charm and after-sales support is amazing, so I can only say that the product is very new."
 

Cons

"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."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.​"
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"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 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."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"The costing is very competitive."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
