Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It is easy-to-use."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."

"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
