Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure." "Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy." "We spend less time to get data recovered." "Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time." "Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly." "It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition." "It is flexible." "It is affordable." | "The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product." "This is a good product with a simple environment." "The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered." "Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good." "I like working on the Azure platform." "A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature." "The interface of this solution is quite good." "The user interface is good. It provides a lot of information." |
Cons | |
"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." "I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems." "An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines." "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." "We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression." "I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs." "The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved." "While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API." | "I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup." "I would like to have a more automated installation process." "Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution." "The stability of this solution needs to be improved." "I am not very impressed by the technical support I received when I had an issue." "Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use." "An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing." "The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated." "The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market." "It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year." "Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable." "I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis." "You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable." "The product is quite cheap compared to other products on the market, but despite this, it is rich in features both at the level of backup and recovery as well as at the level of additional options." "Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market." | "Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis." "Pricing is based on license packaging and duration. Longer term licenses are less per year and license packages also offer a discount." "There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees, and pricing can be a disadvantage or a weakness for this solution." "We purchased a three-year license, and I think that the prices are ok." "The pricing is good." "The licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis, and the fees are much lower than what I pay for NetBackup." "The pricing model is based on CPU and must be declared as Microsoft or VMware licensing." More Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Pricing and Cost Advice » |
