NAKIVO Backup & Replication Reviews

Backup Revelation!

Pros:

Ease of use and perpetual licensing options

Cons:

Issues with transporter servers. Nothing more.

The Pro's and Con's of Nakivo BU&R

Comments: One of confidence, this software is a strong tool for IT Environments and their costing model is fair too! VM's are priced per socket, etc.

Pros:

Ease of use and functionality, fantastic product that runs and doesn't fail. Easy to backup and restore VM's and you can also store your backups on various media such as NAS, USB, AWS (3-2-1) and also enables you to run your OWN backups of your OFFICE 365 mailboxes and One Drive data.

Cons:

The product is stable and seldom needs to be supported by the vendor but they MAKE you pay for support on ALL licenses (in retrospect) as soon as you want to buy more licenses! I went a whole year without support as I was more than confident of the product, only to be told that I have to back-date support if I want any more licenses! Rather irritating given the stability of the product!!

Nakivo functional

Pros:

The semplicity of use end disponibility

Cons:

I didn't find any spots that I didn't like

Self-hosted, Linux compatible and cheaper than Veeam.

Cons:

The UI could be a bit more user friendly. Not compatible with Xen Orchestra at time of writing.

Nakivo BackUp Review

Comments: I am really impressed with Nakivo. I have worked with a lot of newer companies in my almost 25 years in Technology. They get the relationship value, and they seem to really understand their process - they are partners, not just sales. I cannot over state the value of that mindset in today's world.

Pros:

The Nakivo Sales and Engineering teams were excellent to work with. Patient, answered all of our questions and continued to provide support, extended test licenses, throughout our process. Never once were they pushing for a sale - just helping us explore our needs. The service itself was quite intuitive and had all of the features were were looking for. Our differentiating factor, was a feature set that was outside the scope of the back up solution.

Cons:

The only thing that came up in testing, was direct support for tape libraries - but we are a bit of a special case when it comes to that. This was not a direct impact to our decision.

Performance and reliability

Pros:

I have been using Nakivo for about a year now (I used Veeam) and have found the backup performance remarkable, the interface is very simple and user-friendly and it is easy to create your backup plan. Very happy with the choice I made. Recommended!

Cons:

In the preivous month I didn't find major faults

Good product

Comments: Ease of backups to multiple storage locations. Quick and easy file recovery and backup retention.

Pros:

Nakivo Back-up & Replication is a great product. It is easy to use and it worth the money I paid for it. Next to tha is the customer service wich is superb. They react as soon as possible and really try to help you.

Cons:

Backup duplication could be explained more clearly. In my opinion.

Simply, low cost solution.

Comments: A simple, low-cost and effective solution for backing up entire virtual machines.
We have implemented the solution for several dozen clients. The software is very flexible becouse we can install it on the NAS or as a machine on host, which makes it adaptable to the client.

Pros:

Simple to contact with support staff. Large knowledge base. Simple and concise reports.

Cons:

Collaboration between QNAP and NAKIVO; delayed updates. Problem with transfering configuration between versions. Discontinuation of the"Basic" license for small/single customers.

Great alternative to 'big name' providers

Comments: We were paying for an onsite server, an offsite physical server and software/support from unitrends. This product gave us the capability to reuse the onsite server, backup to Wasabi for a fraction of the cost. My experience over the last 12 months with Nakivo has been excellent.

Pros:

The price was very favourable. There was a perpetual licence option and then we just pay a yearly support cost which includes updates.

Cons:

None. It does everything we need seamlessly

Nakive first Review

Comments: I am Happy about it, and the Price is very well.

Pros:

Functional good Support It does well the needed Function

Cons:

The Setup at NAS is a little bit Tricky In most Times the newest Version must installed at Hand,

Nakivo Enterprise : a good choice

Pros:

What I particularly like is how easy it is to use, both for scheduling backups and for restoring files or VMs. Another point is the great responsiveness and friendliness of the staff in the event of problems.

Cons:

One negative point is the choice of version and the change of options over time. The features of the versions have changed over time, but on the other hand, the support service finds appropriate solutions. Like other programmes, you often have to upgrade to the next version for a single feature.

Secure and fast backups to manage.

Comments: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is my main backup solution, I use the recommended 3,2,1 scheme by creating three types of backups in different locations and applying immutability on one of the repositories.

Pros:

The ease of creating immutable backups, with the ability to manage different backup schemes from a single console.

Cons:

Real-time replication features for Nutanix hypervisors.

My Experience of NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Comments: Wonderful backup and replication software.

Pros:

User interface and ease of use. Nakivo is a fast and efficient backup solution.

Cons:

If we do not renew the license for 1-2 years, customer is charged back dated. We should have an option to reinstate with lesser cost which will help the customer.

Perfect for VM Backup and Replication

Comments: The prouct works well at a fraction of the price compared with other solutions such as Zerto

Pros:

Great product that helps us easily meet our backup and replication requirements. The product is easy to setup/configure and manage via a nice web UI. The API helps us manage and monitor the backup and replications.

Cons:

The product could provide better visibility into the storage usage of VMs being backed up. When using forever incremental backups, there is no reporting capability making it difficult to account for storage on a per VM/customer level.

Nakivo Backup & Replication is a very viable and inexpensive solution

Comments: My overall experience has been amazing so far. From their support folks when I had questions, to Licensing, to using the product. It has just worked well.

Pros:

Very easy to set up. Is capable of performing backups on standalone ESXi servers. Most cannot. Very affordable solution.

Cons:

So far I haven't found any cons with it. It may not be as robust as Veeam with some features, but it does everything we need it to at a literal fraction of the cost.

Great Company Experience

Comments: Whether you're a small business or an enterprise, Nakivo offers the tools you need to protect your data and ensure business continuity. Highly recommended!

Pros:

It is easy to use, and Nakivo is an intuitive, user-friendly interface. The setup process is straightforward with great support, and you can have your first backup running within minutes. Our Recoveries of Virtual Machines and Physical Computers have been working on 100% of our cases.

Cons:

The experience has been great for our company.

Great good value product with some feature missing

Pros:

The product was very easy to install and setup. It is good that they have so many options for storage and install operating systems. You can even deploy on some NAS systems.

Cons:

There is no facility to natively encrypt backups to USB storage or a cloud repository. You need to have an offsite transporter offsite connected to the repository. So you cannot store encrypted backups directly into Amazon S3 storage or Wasabi etc. You need to have a transporter running in the cloud location connected to the storage for encryption to work. Quite a big oversight when all offsite backups should be encrypted.

Very good backup soluction

Pros:

ease of use and intuitive configuration, ease of data recovery

Cons:

new subscription model, but now everyone is using it. As far as functionality is concerned, everything is fine.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Pros:

full and incremental options. This ensures all your important data is safe without taking up too much storage space. The backups and recoveries are very fast, so you don’t have to worry about long downtimes. The software is easy to use, even if you don’t have a lot of technical knowledge. The interface is clear and straightforward. You can create virtual copies of your physical machines, which is great for disaster recovery and testing

Cons:

The advanced features require some technical know-how, which means the software is powerful and capable of handling complex backup needs. This depth can be a positive aspect for businesses looking to fully leverage their backup solutions.

What to love about the Nakivo Enterprise Backup Appliance. From a seasoned network administrator

Comments: I learned about computers by custom building them back in 1994. Individually purchasing all the components, I needed, then assembling the system to my client’s wish’s. I was a big Microsoft Windows fan at that point. My how things have changed. I’m now a big open-source software fan. I don’t wish to delve into the advantages of open-source software vs Microsoft software at this point. You will eventually discover this on your own. What I do wish to discuss is an amazing enterprise backup solution I came across, while googling “best enterprise backup solutions” various reviews and recommendations appeared after my search. I filtered through the reviews and one product really stood out amongst the others. Now, let’s get to the “meat” of my point. Some of the other backup solutions would only function on a Microsoft operating system and not on an open-source OS. Strike One! Some of the other backup solutions did not offer any virtualization appliance installation options. Strike Two! And after downloading and importing Nakivo’s Backup appliance into VirtualBox and having it up and running in under 15 minutes! Strike Three! All others are out!

Pros:

It can run as a Virtual Appliance. The appliance is a Linux OS. Administrators can have it up and running and preforming backups in under 15 minutes. File level restore. Many other reasons to implement this backup solution in your environment. Install the free trial to discover for yourself.

Cons:

I actually could not find any short comings while using the Nakivo Backup Appliance. It certainly makes your life as a network administrator so much better! That's definitely NOT a Con! lol

NAKIVO - The BEST

Comments: Nakivo, unlike other competitors (Veeam) is much cheaper, easier to configure and monitor.
My user experience is extremely positive.
The support has always been impeccable too.

Pros:

The possibility of Immutable Backup ON AWS The Less Cost The Easyest of configuration

Cons:

None. I haven't find nothing to say. all i sok

NAKIVO does what it says and more, very easy

Pros:

i have been using nakivo for different clients from 2-3 years ago. It is automated which simplifies much of the labor. It´s easy to manage and installing it as a virtual appliance doesn´t requiere much of resources . This way we can use what we already have.

Cons:

the software updates. In the case of Virtual appliances it has to be done manually entering the console
