Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"Nakivo, similar to Veeam Backup, gives you peace of mind and confidence in your virtual infrastructure."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"After weeks of working with Veeam support without any success, I can say it was worth every Euro spent since I have a working solution and can sleep better."
"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy; it is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"In models TS-231P/TS-431X you have to run Transporter as VM at ESXi host - which is not simple to do."
"Recently, I found out about one disadvantage of the NAKIVO agent that works on physical servers; they certified that they do not have a block tracking mechanism for physical Windows servers, so if a server is huge, say several terabytes, it cannot perform incremental backups and reads all the drives each time, which has left several of my customers suffering from this issue."
"The feature that has a backup repository, like QNAP + ext. HDD's could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like for them to add restore in physical machines."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"The price could be lower."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The prices are high."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"It has a very good price in the market."
