NAKIVO Backup & Replication Reviews

Our primary use case is for cloud/datacenter/infrastructure backup. We have set up a centralized multitenant console to manage our customer backups from multi datacenter sources. We have a unique director and many transporters accross many infrastructures and we centrally manage customer's backups.                                                                        

The centralized cloud console for many tenants is great and clear and helped us to grant a BaaS service of excellence.                                                                                                  

The centralized cloud console for many tenants is great and clear. The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage.          

At the moment the solution is just great for our needs.                                                          

I have been using Nakivo for three years.

I never had a stability issue.

It's easy to increase or decrease tenants and licenses.

Customer service is fast, gentle and concrete.

We tried Veeam but the price was excessive and we have a better percentage of successful backups with Nakivo.

The setup was a bit complex but not too hard.

We implemented in-house.

The ROI is more than other backup solutions. The price for a license is nice and leaves a good margin for the service provider.

Veeam.

We are testing and using Nakivo as a backup and replication solution for our VMware environment. 

We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs. These are then updated every hour with only changed data. The speed of the backup is excellent and allows for replicas to be updated without affecting production workloads. 

The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature. The replicate feature is the most valuable, however second to it is not having to install clients on all VMs. 

It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies, like KVM or oVirt. Also, if it could support physical machine backup that would be helpful. 

We are in the process of switching for two main reasons:

1. Reducing costs.
2. Improving backups by not having to install clients on each VM.

The setup is very easy, and the flow follows a very logical process to configure.

Just try it. You can have it setup and running within a few minutes. 

We also looked into Acronis, however it seemed to have about the same functions at around three times the cost per host. 

We implemented Nakivo Backup & Replication as a backup system for our customer. It supports their VMware vSphere environment. 

The environment is made up of one director, one onboard transporter, one direct SAN repository, and for offsite backup, it has one transporter and one SAN direct repository.

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.

The Nakivo scheduled job also provides backup verification that will help us to ensure the backup is running properly and is truly recoverable.

One of the key features is the ease in recovering individual files. In the customer environment, often accidentally, files are removed or broken. With Nakivo they can easily be recovered.

Another key feature is the ability to install multiple transporters to increase the backup duration for multiple backup jobs at one time.

We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the "best compression' option.

There was a problem we found regarding the repostory. When we enable the schedule for space reclaimation, once the schedule is trigerred the reclaimation will detach the repository but after 1 week we found that the repository is on detach status so we should detach it manuallu. We didn't know actually the reclaimation is on progress or already finsihed

The stability is good. Provided the overall component is ok, the job runs normally and quickly.

It's good enough that the software can be scaled up and scaled out, depending on your requirements.

We had a customer that had a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization infrastructure and wanted the most simplified solution that can be immediately installed, configured, and backed up. So, we installed Nakivo and trained their administrators on the solution.

This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure.

I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional.

Nakivo is stable, we have not had any issues for one year.

Nakivo's infrastructure is very scalable.

The initial setup was quick and easy. It took us about a week to install and configure.

Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup.

Acronis has more functionalities but is also more expensive.

The central console is very native making it easy for the end user to understand.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are currently in the testing phase for Nakivo and it is used for backup and replication.

We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied.

There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3.

I have been using Nakivo for two weeks.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The technical support has been very good. We had a web meeting with the support team and they were helpful.

We previously used Proxmox which is open-source.

We use a perpetual license that is priced well.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Nakivo a ten out of ten.

Nakivo does the job it advertises that it does. Its ability to work with various data store repositories is nice. 

We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised. 

The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort.

• UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional.
• The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes. 

The support is good. 

There are plenty of options these days, but Nakivo is a strong contender.

Backup to local repository and replication to DR site.

A feature I have found most valuable with the application is  deduplication, compression and wan acceleration. 

There are some errors that we need support to correct. We would like the bugs and glitches to be fixed. 

about three years.

The product is very scalable.

The technical support for the solution is good. 

The initial setup was easy. Deployment took a short time, although it was not carried out by me. 

. 

The product is good. It is very robust. 

Our primary use case is for the backup of several virtual machines. We have deployed it for several customers, as it's a fantastic and cheap backup solution.

Implementing automation is simple and fast. It has also dropped down backup storage capacity on our systems.

The most valuable features are the simple installation and backup recovery. We spend less time to get data recovered.

An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines.

Translate and develop the user interface in other languages like Spanish, Catalan, Basque, etc.

We are having no trouble with the stability of this solution at the moment.

I feel that the scalability of this solution is good enough.

We did not use a solution prior to this one.

The initial setup is simple and easy.

Our return on investment has taken less than one year.

It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year.

Before choosing this product we evaluated the VMware backup solution.

This is a great solution. They are doing it well.
