Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it.""The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature.

"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use.""Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help.""This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI.""Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed.""The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it.""It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup.""We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs.""The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."

Cons
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."

"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all.""It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure.""It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time.""In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform.""While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support.""An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules.""It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups.""I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
