Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The Nakivo solution provided us with the ability to do automatic scheduled app-aware backups with great deduplication and compression, so they don't overload our local area network and don't require a lot of storage space."
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"Nakivo is a simple-to-use alternative to other more costly vSphere backup alternatives."
"The backup and replication are great."
"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."
"We can offer an affordable and reliable backup solution to our customers."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
 

Cons

"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"The software is aimed at backing up VM images but it would be nice to have an option to just backup certain files/folders and not the entire disk."
"It would be ideal if they offered a support portal for users."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"Space is always an issue and we try to backup just the files in certain folders, which the users are aware of."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"The price could be lower."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
