Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We tried several competitors' software solutions, including Veeam Backup and Replication, but we have to say that Nakivo is the best choice when it comes to quality/cost ratio."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"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."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
 

Cons

"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"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."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
