NAKIVO Reviews

Nakivo performs excellently on our virtual infrastructureand at much lower price than the competition. Performance and features at the level of any world-class solution, and a wonderfull support service

No cons to mention by now, reaaly impresive

It's a cost effective solution compared with other similar vendors and allow us to run it from a NAS directly.

I like Nakivo because it is very robust, we have never had an issues were our backups or replication has failed due Nakivo. So as long as the servers are running and are accessible Nakivo does his job.

Not a lot of support for physical Linux servers, sometimes you need the support to do backup VM but with no access to the host and that option is missing.

Great product, support and team behind it.

Helps us with all the DR scenarios we are implementing were we need backup and replicas of the existing servers.

Nakivo is a intuitive software,, faster and easly to use and backup vmware

The program is good at this time,, i recomended incluide a mobile app to manage control panel

Excelente performance and speed to backup and restore

Backup virtual machines with excelente price

The direct customer support is great. Many occasions got answers after hours. Product works as advertised. We are getting very good performance out of the system, and when we faced some misconfigurations , the support team was there to help us any time. Their support system is very transparent, integrated directly into the web interface. So far our tests only included vmware esxi vm backups and a few restores to test the system. There were no glitches with it. I particularly like that only the source is licensed, so we were able to roll out several off-site data backup locations to further protect the vital parts of our infrastructure.

There is no problems with Nakivo so far. I have only a minor grievance, that is in our scenario, we are running a second hypervisor just for the vcsa service, and in order to back that up I need to make manual clones to the main hypervisor, because it was only licensed to the 2 processors in the main system. It would be nice if all versions would include domain integration, so the deployment would be more secure than a single user/password pair. I wouldn't mind some sort of a feature that the transponders would not have to be offline for scubbing, because in some of our datastores it takes well over a half a day.

Add maybe support for domain integration to all services. Consider a different approach for integrity check and cleanup that doesn't completely disable the transponder (or make the backup queued so that they would execute when scrubbing is done)

It is a quite easy-to-manage, turnkey solution for our backups. Complexity in our backup systems reduced greatly by investing in the Nakivo solution. And now that the reports come daily it is a lot safer and more efficient to keep an eye on the backups.

easy to install, easy to use, inexpensive.It just does the job

the support knowledge base is a bit slim

It's one of our backup and replications systems for our VMware infrastucture. It provides both local backups/replications but also replication to our out of state warm site

Nakivo Backup and Replication for it self has already very important software features that I give high-value importance such as the storage encryption and the large data accessibility on various type of file systems shares like CIFS,NFS, AFP and last but not least ZFS, but adding this software to the high range potentiality of a raspberry pi creates a easily configured device that can actually be portable to test in many network infrastructures. The external storage scale-ability is one of the strongest points in this method of backup application.

The Software for itself has no Cons, the only downside is the raspeberry bandwidth limit on USB speed.

Just try it out and see if it fits your needs.

Backup our file server with the extra layer security due to ransomeware protection that Nakivo offers when you install it on raspberry.

Nakivo deployed on Synology is a great storage + data protection solution, have being using it for quite a long time and am more than satisfied with speed and lightness of resources. Additionally Site Recovery goes embedded into the product making it all-in-one solution really easy and convenient to run. That helped me to create personal DR plan and always be prepared to disaster recovery.

Nothing to mention so far. Software works according to our expectations.

VM backup, replication, failover, backup to the cloud, backup copy, backup size reduction, screenshot verification and site recovery.

Very fast backups + built in deduplication saves storage space. Very reliable, we've never had any failed backups with Nakivo. Support team is very responsive and competent and they always checks if ticket has been resolved.

Bit pricey, but still very well worth it's price tags. Good products do have their price for an reason.

Absolutely worth trying. Easy to install and if you have eg. Qnap NAS, you can install Nakivo directly to NAS and offload some resources from VMWare to NAS.

Backup reliability (we switched from competing product which we had too many problems with). Nakivo has been working very reliably and it's restore speed is very impressive, especially with FlashVM boot.

facility to make copies and replicas of virtual machines

in principle there is nothing that disgusts me of the software because it fulfills all my expectations

Responsiveness: thanks to the saved copies, we can have all systems fully operational in a short period of time. This translates into a higher level of efficiency, which will enable us to restore information and services effectively.

The simplicity and fonctionnality to install and manage the system. The speed of restoring file or vm is very good. ANd finaly the price is very competitive.

I don't find any problem for the moment, but the calendar dashboard view is not available in the Essentials Pro, it needs the Enterprise version which I found a basic option available in most of the backup solutions

we were able to set up a secure backup solution between different sites in a very simple and efficient way.
