What is our primary use case?

My company wants to evaluate Nakivo to offer a primary backup solution to our customers because it looks easy to implement and to use.

Nakivo is a cheap backup solution and at the level of technology in comparison with Veeam plays well. Now my company has activated just the trial.

What needs improvement?

I think the product should be improved on the integrations — for example, integration with HPE StoreOnce.

I think that it's stable.
