Pros
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort.""Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time.""The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery.""It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed.""The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too.""The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses.""The backup and replication are great.""NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."

"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company.""The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup.""The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution.""I like the incremental backups and their failover.""Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware.""The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution.""Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

Cons
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact.""I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup.""Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved.""We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability.""In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform.""I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional.""The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed.""It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication Cons →

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""The integration needs improvement.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""They could be more customer-friendly.""Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
