Nakivo "The backbone to our virtualization infrastructure DR+BC Playbook.
Reviewed on 2019/07/03
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.

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

Cost Effective And Brilliant Backup And Replication Strategy
Reviewed on 2021/02/12
Brilliant solution, cost effective. The product is easy to implement and works just as good as advertised. It surpassed our expectations.
Pros
Easy backups and replications that help keep us safe and secure! Ability to store locally and in cloud is a plus
Cons
I would like to see more cloud integration with companies like BackBlaze and their B2 storage offerings. Amazon and Wasabi are partner groups, and that is more than enough to work with until then!

Reviewed on 2020/01/24
I work with multiple clients that use VMWare in their business and compared to the other more expensive backups solutions Nakivo Backup and Replication works just as well but it much more cost effective. Great product and affordable for a small environment but still works well in a larger setting.
Pros
Nakivo Backup and Replication is simple to setup and configure and it is very easy to setup your backup jobs. It just works and it is so easy to maintain. The support is fantastic. I love it!
Cons
The user interface is a little simple, but that it not necessarily a bad thing because it shows you what you need to see all in one place.

Pretty much everything. Nakivo is easy to use yet very powerful. It turns your NAS into a backup appliance.

The best choice
Reviewed on 2019/05/16
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).

Simple and easy to use backup solution
Reviewed on 2021/01/18
We made excellent experiences with the software and had to recover twice since introduction of the packages. Nakivo did the job just fine and letter let us down. Great package for the money asked for!
Pros
Installation as well as updating is simple and straightforward. The web interface allows simple access to all functions. Backup and Restore works like a charm and the messaging in case of failures makes checking status a breeze. I like the excellent rates for data compression allowing to use backup repository far beyond actual capacity.
Cons
Weird product policy for features in the different versions of the package - We are working with edition "Essentials Pro", which does all it needs to do, but the calendar view is disabled. Absolutely understand, that functions are limited to higher editions of package, but a calendar view of your jobs?!

Easiest backup/replication solution out there
Reviewed on 2019/05/07
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.
