Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"It is affordable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"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."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
