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.How has it helped my organization?
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.What needs improvement?
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… more»Real User

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.How has it helped my organization?
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… more»What needs improvement?
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.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Just try it. You can have it setup and running within a few minutes.If you previously used a different solution, which one did you use and why did you switch?
We are in the process of switching for two main reasons: * Reducing costs. * Improving backups by not having to install clients on each VM.Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also looked into Acronis, however it seemed to have about the same functions at around three times the cost per host.See 2 More Nakivo Reviews
