Data backup & recovery solution for businesses
4,8 /5 (91 reviews) Write a Review!
A beautifully engineered solution that doesn't assume everyone uses Windows
Pros
It's an elegant combination of Java and Linux with a straightforward web-based interface and it never lets us down. We feel completely comfortable with Nakivo protecting our backups and best of all, it means we don't have to install a load of Windows-based systems that we don't want or need just to run it.
Cons
It's not cheap. It does work out slightly more cost effective than Veeam, and the saving of effort and hassle of it being Linux-based was enough justification for us to buy it in the end.
Nakivo "The backbone to our virtualization infrastructure DR+BC Playbook.
From sales to support, the attention has been top-notch. Very attentive and quick to respond with quotes and resolutions. The application performance has exceeded our previous backup systems.
Pros
Rapid deployment: We use Synology NAS devices for backups. The ability to deploy the app directly on the NAS itself was a big win for us. We reduced the load on our hypervisors and have everything needed for recovery on one device.
Cons
A web UI refresh would be nice but that is just a matter of personal preference. A mobile app would be great.

We use NAKIVO since many years. In all that time it does what we expectet: It backup our data safely.

Good support.
Cons
I missed nothing when using NAKIVO. There is nothing I like least.
Nakivo
Pros
I use Nakivo to backup AWS istances from a region to another and works very well.
It is easy to use and configure.
Cons
Enable the possibility to restore guest file from a replicated istances to restore file deleted or damage
NAKIVO + Synology
Nakvio has been extremely helpful whenever called up, and their support team has proven knowledgeable at diagnosing other systems (like synology in our case)
Pros
Extremely easy to use, and the synology deployment is an absolute lifesaver in terms of reducing complexity
Cons
Would have preferred the calendar dashboard at lower licence levels
Backup made easy
Overall my experience has been great and when I do have a problem their support is there to immediately help solve the problem.
Pros
The software ease of use is what really sold me on Nakivo. From day one it was easy to setup and within a few minutes I was backing up my first Esxi server. The VM replication is fast and I love the screenshot verification. Restoring a backup is just as easy and I've never had a backup restore job fail.
Cons
Overall the software is as perfect as you can get. Its allows me to confidently backup my servers with no issues.
The best choice
Pros
This software is easy to setup and use. The price is competitive and can be afforded also in very little company or offices (SOHO) assuring security at low cost.
The availability of the transporter module with most of NAS system (also SOHO) let the company work also with low cost devices. The option to have a flash VM boot reduces the RTO and the forever incremental backups (very fast) reduces the RPO.
Cons
No availability for Citrix XEN and a full screen interface (the calendar would be more readable).
Nakivo, is a reliable and easy to use product

A very good backup software for Virtualization
This is a very pleasant experience. You get backup done, details ,alert when something goes wrong.
Pros
Simple to use, efficient and faster than our previous software.
Cons
For now everything is good so far. We don't use all features possible. If I should be picky, an automated update system will be awesome.

Reliable Backup Solution
Nakivo platform is one stop shop for all of our backup and DR needs.
Pros
Over the course of 3 years Nakivo proved to be an excellent choice for our backup and disaster recovery needs. After the initial setup the interface was very easy to use, had a logical layout and order of steps when performing various activities. Level of integration with major hypervisors is great. Network acceleration helps a lot when performing backups over slower WAN links. Multi-tenant platform in combination with per VM licensing model presents great sales opportunity for service providers offering DR solutions.
Cons
Introduction of support for the latest releases of hypervisors takes too long.
Perfect backup for small and mid-sized business
Nakivo is simply the best solution for our customers. Of course there are other products out there with more features, but we really don't need them.
Pricing and feature set are exactly right for our small and mid-sized customers.
For the future we hope, that Nakivo will continue this,
Pros
Easy to deploy software, which is suitable for all of our customers. We like the possibility to run it as a downloadable virtual appliance. So, we always have it running in a few minutes.
Starting as a solution for backing up virtual infrastructures (vSphere / Hyper-V), it becomes more and more feature complete. Today it has all featured we need for our customers, including physical backup.
We really like controlling the software with command-line and API. Integration with our remote monitoring was simple.
Also, the sales team always finds good solutions, when there are tricky licensing request from our customers.
Cons
There are no real cons to mention.
Sometimes we wish, that the logs in the UI would tell more details, when it comes to errors. But we always were able to sort it out.
NAKIVO rivals VEEM and others. We say NAKIVO wins
We were introduced to NAKIVO 2 years ago when we were searching for a lower cost entry point for virtualization backup. we were pleasantly surprised with the NAKIVO product.
Since then, the NAKIVO features have grown and we regularly find ourselves recommending our clients move from their current solutions like VEEM and Symantec vault, to NAKIVO saving a ton of money and giving a much easier to use interface to the end users.
We highly recommend NAKIVO to our clients and recommend you take a moment to review as well

Pros
same end results as using more expensive products like VEEM, price point significantly less, and the user interface much easier to understand.
Flexible integration with other storage devices and operating systems
Cons
they are continuing to add more features rivaling the bigger companies. I say they're just about there and I don't really have a negative thing to say about the product
Easiest backup/replication solution out there
Nakivo is a real time saver. I scheduled backups of my vmware environment, and also replication to an off sight server. and all I do is monitor the nakivo email notifications sent after the job tasks. It's been a real load off my shoulders.
Anyone looking for a simple, reliable backup and replication solution for vmware or hyper V, look no further.
Pros
Nakivo is incredibly simple to use. The interface is very user friendly and intuitive and it guides you through each tasks. It is quick and efficient. Support has been excellent, nakivo provides regular updates and they are regularly improving the software with new features. You are able to perform full vm backups, replication, restore individual files, mount hard disk from a vm backup to a running vm and browse full hard disk, and the list goes on.
Cons
No real cons with Nakivo, although realtime replication and the ability to perform file/folder level backup would be great.
Easy to use and fast recovery
Very pleased with it. We use Nakivo to backup all of our VMware VM's and have been using it for 2 years already and we have never had failed backups with it. As we're web hosting company we run restore operations several times per week for our clients who have tendency of deleting something.
Pros
Very easy installation + the deduplication results are very impressive. Also restore time with Flash VM Recovery is amazing. We've done 900Gb + VM's started from backup in minutes and we've been able to fetch database dumps in there in time which we've never seen before.
As some of our hosting servers use MySQL with InnoDB databases ability to boot "replica of VM" with Flash VM recovery and performing mysqldump on running replica in minutes is simply impressive.
Cons
Usual issues with any software: "something point zero" versions do have their bugs.
Nakivo: simplicity and efficiency!
We switched from another backup solution to Nakivo, in a first moment, due to its cost. Now, we are aware of its simplicity and efficiency and recommend it to all our clients. Nakivo is getting better after each version!
Pros
The simplicity and efficiency of the solution.
Cons
I am plenty satisfied with Nakivo. If I had to choose something, would be the interface.
Great software for VM backup
Pros
Nakivo is reliable, very simple to setup and easy to use. It can be implemented as virtual appliance, app for NAS envirolment and software. Work also with VSphere ESXi free!
Cons
I really don't know... It's really a complete and simple software so... None!

Affordable Price & Easy Implementation With Nakivo
Nakivo is a backup and replication tool that offers data protection with complete features aimed at a virtual environment that can support both on premise and cloud. Some virtualization products supported include VMware, HyperV, Nutanix and even Nakivo also support for Cloud Environment backup (AWS EC2).
NAKIVO is the right choice for companies that needs backup application at an affordable price and reliable performance.
We very recommends NAKIVO application. If you already use VMware and don't know what backup application you should use? NAKIVO is the right solution. In addition to backups that can be done easily, NAKIVO also has the ability to restore quickly.
NAKIVO itself can be installed on a variety of hosts. Either it's Windows, Linux, or as a virtual appliance (OVF / OVA), or maybe installed on NAS storage. So, it's actually pretty easy to apply NAKIVO in your company environment
Pros
Have Replication & Fast Restore Feature. NAKIVO itself can be installed on a variety of hosts. Either it's Windows, Linux, or as a virtual appliance (OVF / OVA), or maybe installed on NAS storage. So, it's actually pretty easy to apply NAKIVO in your company environment
Cons
Still Cannot Backup To Tape. It seems pretty important to have this feature.
Great product for Virtual backups
Nakivo, great backup solution for Virtual servers
Pros
It's ease of use and quick setup makes Nakivo a great solution for backing up and replicating vmware infrastructures, price is also very affordable.
Cons
It's simplicity makes that it lacks many useful features of competitor backup software
It's as close to bullet proof as we've seen. Our backups run nightly and on the occasion when we need to restore, there are some very flexible ways of getting either individual files, VMDKs or entire VMs out the other end. We have yet to try out the non-VM backup but we suspect that at some point we will throw that out and move it all to Nakivo.
