NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Vorteile

The things i really like about nakivo is the ease of deployment, literally in Minutes and the reliability of VM backups. Also the ability to recover even files from backups give us the granularity we need. In addition in the latest version nakivo introduced indexing in recovery which makes it even easier to browse all files in your backup. Moreover, nakivo has a lot of deployment option and you can deploy it as a NAS appliance, VM, physical machine. Finally in a single pane of glass you have all the information you need which is very good for users that are not administrators and also the support team of nakivo is exceptional at problem solving

Nachteile

The cons in nakivo is firstly the 365 backup is done only on premises and it takes a lot of time to finish if you have under 1Gbit fiber connection. It should have the ability to be done entirely on cloud without having to store the backups on prem. And the other thing is the recovery process as well as the backup verification take a lot of time to complete. Finally the monitoring system it provides doesnt worth it really as there are much better monitoring solutions available.

Vorteile

The NAKIVO product set is feature rich, simple to implement and represents outstanding value for the investment.

Nachteile

Lacking direct internet client backup, not a deal breaker.

Vorteile

Possibility of backing up all our platfroms is plus for me.

Nachteile

Any update is pain. There is huge chance that software update wont end well and you have to contact support to help you with remediation. Support is also not best i saw out there.

Vorteile

Easy to use .Easy manage. Quick support.

Nachteile

Reporting and analytics tools are sometimes described as basic. Users seeking detailed or customizable reporting might feel limited by the options provided.

Vorteile

Vorteile

We use Nakivo to back up our VPS servers and NAS devices. The UI and features are quite satisfactory with several expansion possibilities. We liked the new MSP feature where you can give specific access to users for specific machines.

Nachteile

There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use Nakivo as a Plesk backup tool.

NAKIVO engineers connect with you and go over your install and configuration and can schedule this free service any time after install to go over anything you have questions about. My biggest pro is you can go from texting support in the program or website to having a tier 3 engineer connecting to your computer to help with any issues that arise in minutes not hours.

Nachteile

No Cons as of today, have had couple errors that popped up and support was connected and resolved within minutes.

Ease of use and functionality, fantastic product that runs and doesn't fail.
Easy to backup and restore VM's and you can also store your backups on various media such as NAS, USB, AWS (3-2-1) and also enables you to run your OWN backups of your OFFICE 365 mailboxes and One Drive data.

Nachteile

The product is stable and seldom needs to be supported by the vendor but they MAKE you pay for support on ALL licenses (in retrospect) as soon as you want to buy more licenses! I went a whole year without support as I was more than confident of the product, only to be told that I have to back-date support if I want any more licenses! Rather irritating given the stability of the product!!

La facilidad de implementacion en nuestra compañia ha permitido mejorar el trabajo en gran medida a nivel de IT.

Nachteile

Soporte Técnico en Español, no hay mucha facilidad para los que estamos de este lado en LATAM.

Vorteile

Ease of use, comprehensive features and great support.

Nachteile

Does not support backing up of older OS on physical machines eg. "Server 2008"

Vorteile

The most important thing is the reliability of this tool. It has saved me several times in my work.

Nachteile

I don't see any disadvantages of NAKIVO. For me it would be easier to have backups in the form of easily transferable files than a complicated repository, but of course I appreciate functionality and reliability above all.

Vorteile

The Nakivo Sales and Engineering teams were excellent to work with. Patient, answered all of our questions and continued to provide support, extended test licenses, throughout our process. Never once were they pushing for a sale - just helping us explore our needs.

The service itself was quite intuitive and had all of the features were were looking for. Our differentiating factor, was a feature set that was outside the scope of the back up solution.

Nachteile

The only thing that came up in testing, was direct support for tape libraries - but we are a bit of a special case when it comes to that. This was not a direct impact to our decision.

Vorteile

The availability of friendly and helpful support staff. Along with the versatility of the software in virtual and "bare-metal" environments, what gives me the most peace of mind is that I know I can always rely on a support team to help me when there are problems I cannot solve just by consulting the help pages.

Nachteile

Sometimes the documentation is not very clear to me - but again, support was always ready to step in and help when I couldn't make sense of the knowledge base. One addition I would like to see is to be able to encrypt data before it reaches a public cloud repository. This is unfortunately only possible in a few situations, and generic object storage is not among them.

Vorteile

Cost effective, modern and well rounded feature set, responsive technical support

Nachteile

Can't think of anything for this category - we've used it for many years now, and we're really pleased

Nulla per me. Non ho avuto nessun problema.

Vorteile

Ease of use and perpetual licensing options

What I like most abount Nakivo Backup is its realiability, easy to use and efficient perfomance

Vorteile

It runs on NAS hardware , easy to upgrade and setup backup

Nachteile

it is not for free :) , besid it I like it all

Vorteile

Nakivo is a very user-friendly backup solution. Installation is no problem for a reasonably trained system administrator. The use is more or less self-explanatory, but of course there is also a very good manual and an equally good knowledge base that leaves nothing to be desired. The support, which I have only had to use once in five years, is also very competent.

Nachteile

There is really nothing which i do not like.

Vorteile

Facilità di installazione, configurazione iniziale e uso.

Nachteile

Settaggio in po' macchinoso per gli agent sui pc per configurare transporters e repository

Vorteile

Very easy to set up. Is capable of performing backups on standalone ESXi servers. Most cannot. Very affordable solution.

Nachteile

So far I haven't found any cons with it. It may not be as robust as Veeam with some features, but it does everything we need it to at a literal fraction of the cost.

Vorteile

the speed at which it back's up and restores to vmware

Nachteile

nothing so far to complain about, best and easiest solution I have found so far

Vorteile

Great product that helps us easily meet our backup and replication requirements.

The product is easy to setup/configure and manage via a nice web UI.

The API helps us manage and monitor the backup and replications.

Nachteile

The product could provide better visibility into the storage usage of VMs being backed up. When using forever incremental backups, there is no reporting capability making it difficult to account for storage on a per VM/customer level.
