Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"You can have it setup and running within a few minutes."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
